George Floyd was arrested by police officers for alleged forgery. A bystander’s video shows a police officer pinning Floyd to the ground and putting his knee on Floyd’s neck after he supposedly became violent during the arrest. Floyd begs for help but can be seen going completely still. Floyd died after being transported to a hospital. Many consider his death an example of police brutality.
Minneapolis erupted in protests on Tuesday night to protest the death of George Floyd. Police officers used tear gas, flash grenades, and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds that became violent. The family of Floyd also spoke out about the death and demanded that the officers be arrested and convicted of murder.
