Following the murder of George Floyd on the 25th May 2020, a wave of protests started all over the world demanding immediate justice for him and for all the previous victims of police brutality against black people.

​

Floyd was killed in Minneapolis by a white police man, Derek Chauvin, who knelt on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. Chauvin was arresting Floyd for an alleged attempt to pay with a $20 counterfait bill at a local store.
