George Flyod Picture. Mourners honored George Floyd, the man whose death in police custody sparked nationwide protests against police brutality and racial injustice. New footage appears to show George Floyd in a violent struggle with cops while inside a squad car before he died after being pinned with a knee to the neck for almost nine minutes.
You only know that because of the pictures taken from across the street. Protests in response to his death, and more broadly to police violence against black people, quickly spread across the United States and internationally. The case echoes the death of Eric Garner, another black man who died while a white officer.
George Floyd's brother, Philonise Floyd, organized the fundraiser, which is called the Official George Floyd Memorial Fund.
Chauvin and Floyd sometimes worked overlapping shifts as security guards for a local nightclub, but the club's former owner.
New video from a different angle has emerged showing George Floyd being detained by Minneapolis police officers shortly before his death, according to a report. George Floyd moved to Minnesota for a fresh start — an opportunity to better himself and to be a better father. The case echoes the death of Eric Garner, another black man who died while a white officer.
