The death of African-American George Floyd, a resident of Minneapolis, on May 25 sparked unrest across the US amid the coronavirus pandemic. Floyd died after a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, pinned him to the ground and knelt on his neck after handcuffing him. Despite Floyd saying: “I can’t breathe”, the policeman did not budge, while the three others standing near him looked on.

The entire act was caught on camera, which led to massive public outrage. All the four officers have been fired, while Derek Chauvin has been arrested and charged with third-degree murder.

After that, Police officers around the country have stood alongside protesters in towns and cities across the United States, calling for action following the death of George Floyd.
