I’m pretty sure we’re all familiar with George Floyd, if not here’s a summary of who he is. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, an African-American man, died in Powderhorn, a neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. While Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down on a city street during an arrest, Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer, kept his knee on the right side of Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds; according to the criminal complaint against Chauvin, 2 minutes and 53 seconds of that time occurred after Floyd became unresponsive. After his pass the officer responsible was not charged with murder he was just dismissed. That’s when minorities in Minneapolis decided enough was enough they began protesting, rioting, looting and destroying police departments and went as far as burning one down. After this vicious protest it took four days for the officer [Derek Chauvin] to get charged with involuntary manslaughter. But that would mean, the crime of killing another human being unlawfully but unintentionally. George Floyd screamed multiple times “I can’t breathe” “I’m going to die” “THEY’RE GOING TO KILL ME , MAMA.” What I’m trying to say is that Derek Chauvin and the 3 other officers should be charged with second degree murder. As it says second degree murder is, killing another with malice - doing a harmful act without just cause or legal excuse - but without premeditation or deliberation. In other words, this means intentionally killing someone without planning to do so in advance. Please Sign and share if you want to contact me my email is [email protected]

I have been reading through the comments all morning and honestly the stories people are sharing about their own experiences with police bias are just gutting. It feels like this is growing into something way bigger than I first imagined when I sat at my laptop and started typing all this out. I am trying to keep up with everything but please know that even if I am slow to reply I see you and I am not letting up on this.

I honestly did not think this would gain this much steam when I first started tapping away at my phone screen in frustration. It is overwhelming to see so many people actually showing they care about justice because sometimes it really feels like nobody is listening and we are just yelling into a void.

Based on what i saw on TV , to see a police officer who sworn to serve and protect the community , turn completely into a killer in a day broad light ,hand in pocket , knee on his prey's neck pressing harder painting a picture of supremacy with supermacho man attitude , it's pretty sad beyond words , that America police academies , still unable to correct an everlasting failure to show a minimum of respect and dignity for all regardless of race instead they are delighted to display a series of mistreatment of citizens which in some cases resulting to deaths. My condolences , prayer and heart go to the family george Floyd. Rest in peace.

Black lives matter, and being white or a police officer does not make you above the law.

This was clearly second degree murder. Justice needs to be done.
