Floyd’s brother repudiates the possibility of forgiveness to the killer; Remember the case

George Floyd, 46, was murdered by the policeman Derek Chauvin. In May 2020, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, police were called after Floyd was accused of using a fake $ 20 note in a store.

During the police approach, the police, who is white, pressed his knee against Floyd’s neck. Floyd, already immobilized, was suffocated for nine minutes by the agent. Before that, other police officers had already pointed to guns against the victim.

“I can’t breathe,” Floyd told the policeman. Still during the aggression, the victim called her mother, narrating that she could not breathe – but the requests were ignored.

After nine minutes being suffocated, Floyd stopped moving. An ambulance was even fired and took Floyd to a hospital, but he died.

Derek Chauvin was convicted of Floyd’s death. In all, the Minnesota court sentenced him to 22.5 years in prison for murder.

The verdict of guilt will not bring George back. This can be a giant step towards justice in America. (…) It was a murder in the light of day that drew the curtains so that everyone could see all the injustices of this system. He showed his knee around all Americans and the pain that all blacks face every day. The murder has generated a protest that we have not seen since the 1960s, protests that united people from various generations and races to say, ‘Enough, it’s enough!’ No more meaningless murders.
