Protests and demonstrations in favor of reforming police and addressing racial equality broke out across the country after the death of Floyd, who was killed after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes as Floyd said he could not breath and asked for help.

The killing has been described as a modern-day lynching that evoked the worst episodes of the 1960s and before, and all of the officers involved face criminal charges, with one facing a second-degree murder charge.

Apparently it is a new rule that every “news” article, whether it has anything to do with George Floyd or not, repeats this claim that Floyd was “killed” as though it was undisputed fact.

Thank you. Floyd was not murdered or killed. He died in police custody with major health problems and a body filled with dangerous drugs.

Wait until the officers are acquitted because of the simple reason that Floyd died of a heart attack brought on by the stress of being arrested, being on meth and fentanyl. He simply died.
