GEORGE FLOYD

Last week, a man named George Floyd was killed. An officer killed him on the street. It was rather racist, because George Floyd was black and the officer who killed him was white. I’m not trying to be racist, but that's how they explained it on the news. This week it was confirmed that George had tested positive for covid-19. He could have passed away from that but he had a much cruler death than covd-19. The officers were arrested, and there have still been major protests.




“Black lives matter.”All the protesters would hold signs and shout,”Black lives matter.”or else they would shout,”I cant breath.”to show that they care about this out rage. George Floyd's youngest daughter Gianna, now does not have a father. All she knows is that he is dead, but not how he passed away.




George Floyd was killed because an officer put his knee on his neck for eight minutes until he suffocated. His last words were,”I can’t breath.”and he wasn’t lying. The protests are all over the globe. They call it a peaceful protest”You call this a peaceful protest? You want peace? You carry a gun around! How do you call that peace?”A protester yelled out from behind the gates of the white house.
