    The Black man: George Floyd.

    George Perry Floyd Jr. (October 14, 1973 – May 25, 2020) was a Black-American man who was murdered by a white police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest made after a store clerk suspected Floyd may have used a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill, on May 25, 2020. Derek Chauvin, one of the four police officers who arrived on the scene, knelt on Floyd’s neck and back for 9 minutes and 29 seconds which caused a lack of oxygen. After his murder, protests against police brutality, especially towards black people, quickly spread across the United States and globally. His dying words, “I can’t breathe”, became a rallying slogan.

      Ah I only skimmed past it I didn’t really look at the guy. Still surprised I didn’t recognize him.
