George Floyd

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was murdered by a Minnesota police officer. The cop kneeled on his neck for 8 minutes 46 seconds. I watched a video of what happened and it made my blood boil. Multiple bystanders were telling the cop to get off his neck and he wouldn't listen. This is an example of systemic racism. Systemic racism is ways of treating people because of their race. It's not just a couple people, but entire institutions like schools, banks, and law enforcement.

I am planning on going on a march.
