George Floyd was 46 years old. He was arrested on May 25th by police outside a shop in Minneapolis, Minnesta. A report was made on the evening of 25 May, when Mr Floyd bought a pack of cigarettes from Cup Foods, a grocey store. Believing the $20 bill he used to be counterfeit,(meaning fake). A store employee reported it to police. The employee said the man appeared "drunk" and "not in control of himself" Shortly after the call, at around 8 PM, two police officers arrived. Mr Floyd was sat with two other people in a car parked around the corner. Police said, put there hands on Mr Floyd, and pulled him out of the car. Then Mr Floyd "actively resisted being handcuffed". And that was a big lie he did not resisted because everybody seen the video and he didn't. Police fourced him to He lay there, face down,on the ground still in handcuffs. That's when witnesses started to film Mr Floyd, who appeared to be in a distressed state. These moments, captured on multiple mobile phones and shared widely on social media,
Mr Floyd was restrained by officers, while Officer Chauvin placed his left knee between his head and neck with all his might while he was still on the ground handsuffed.
"I can't breathe," Mr Floyd said repeatedly, pleading for his mother and begging "please, please, please".
For eight minutes and 46 seconds, Of Chauvin kept his knee on Mr Floyd's neck. Yet, the officers did not move off him. Officer Chauvin removed his knee from Mr Floyd's neck. Motionless, Mr Floyd was rolled on to a gurney and taken to the Hennepin County Medical Center in an ambulance.
He was pronounced dead around an hour later.
The way he died was senseless. He begged for his life. He pleaded for his life. When you try so hard to put faith in this system, a system that you know isn't designed for you, when you constantly seek justice by lawful means and you can't get it, you begin to take the law into your own hands."

Those cops were racist. Blue lives matter too, but this isn't about them. White people experience racism, being told they are ignorant and evil from a young age. Some people don't want to acknowledge this.
But ignorance doesn't fix ignorance.
Yes, white people face racism in their lives. Yes the fact is oppressed.
