George Floyd

Welcome back to my blog! Did you hear about the George Floyd incident? If not here is what it is. A man named George Floyd was walking to get some cigarettes. He went to the shop. There was a teenager boy who was hired. He sold Floyd cigarettes for $20. The teenager noticed that the bill looked fake. He called 911. The police came. Without even saying if the teenager was right or wrong, the police officer handcuffed Floyd. He took him near the police car and put his knee on his neck for 8 minutes 46 seconds! Floyd screamed, "Please! Please! I can't breathe! Please let me go, I will do whatever you want!" The police officer did not do anything. The police officer, Derek Chauvin was not showing justice! Floyd was African American. The three other police officers who were watching and also not showing justice were: Tou Thao, J. Alexandar Kueng, and Thomas Lane. George Floyd was took to the hospital and, sadly died. Now, protestors are going around and saying, "Black Lives Matter", " I can't breathe", and "Don't Kill Us"
