Minneapolis protesters are protesting the unfair death of George Floyd

By Alex

This article is about how Minneapolis protesters are protesting the unfair death of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man who was killed by a police officer for no apparent self defence or reason. Footage recorded by a bystander shows Floyd pleading for breath while Officer Derek Chauvin, a whilte male kneeling on his neck closing off his air passage, a few minutes into the recording you can see Floyd stop talking and moving.

The protesters ignored social distancing and destroyed/looted any shop in their view, completely destroying the neighborhood. Officials told the protesters to keep it passive and to keep the focus on George Floyd. The officer in question has been fired and arrested and will probably be facing charges in court soon.
