George Floyd death

George Floyd, a 46-year-old African American man, died in Minneapolis earlier last week. As per reports, on May 26, Floyd was arrested by the local police in Minneapolis for unspecified charges. A tussle is said to have broken out between George Floyd and the police officials, which resulted in Floyd after being subdued for several minutes by a police officer. In a video that went viral on the internet, the officer was seen pressing his knee against Floyd's neck who was seen gasping for air before turning motionless.

In the viral video, the 46-year-old can be seen repeatedly saying 'I can't breathe.' He was pronounced dead the same day. George Floyd's death triggered protests in various parts of the US, including in California, New York, Ohio and Colorado. Reportedly, the police officer Derek Chauvin and three other officers - Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J Alexander Kueng - were later fired by the Minneapolis Police Department. According to the reports, on Friday, Chauvin was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
