Please. I can't breathe.
MEANWHILE...

Get back inside!!
Chauvin was put on paid administrative leave then later returned to work.He was later fired. Not arrested.
I'm protected by the state, nothing will happen to me.
While families mourn Floyd's death
We need justice. When will we truly be free?
Black Lives Matter. Lock the officers responsible up!
Here lies George Floyd
More political leaders have been more honest in addressing racism. Today we still protest against police brutality.
Monuments idolizing Confederates were destroyed.
The protests lead to the arrest and charge of Chauvin for manslaughter.Many more officers were arrested and charges subsequently when found to have used too much force.
