George Floyd was a black man who was unfortunately a victim of police brutality. His death in 2020 prompted the outbreak of nationwide protests. The brutality of his death showed to affect audiences because of multiple reasons, one being that his final moments were on recording, and to the knee of his murderer. Although this was a topic of concern for years prior, his death sparked a fresh set of anger that the world has for such crimes.
George Floyd
Another victim, whose only crime was being who they are. Breonna Taylor was a 26 year old black woman who was shot to death by officers during a drug search. It was later noted that the actions taken were those resulted of a flawed drug search and entery without knocking. It is also determined that shots were first fired by Taylor's boyfriend, who aimed at the officers, and in response the officers unleashed on Breonna. This sparked much discussion in racial justice and the defunding of police officers in the Black Lives Matters movement.
