On May 25, Minneapolis police officers arrested George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, after a deli employee called 911, accusing him of buying cigarettes with a counterfeit $20 bill. Seventeen minutes after the first squad car arrived at the scene, Mr. Floyd was unconscious and pinned beneath three police officers, showing no signs of life.
Videos showing the burly cop kneeling on Floyd’s neck for a few minutes have created a stir on social media, in which Floyd can be heard saying he cannot breathe.
