On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black American man, was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit $20 bill. Derek Chauvin, a white American police officer, knelt on Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 45 seconds while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down, begging for his life, and repeatedly saying, "I can't breathe."  The following day, after videos made by witnesses and security cameras became public, all four officers involved were fired. 

Floyd's death triggered world-wide protests against police brutality, police racism, and lack of police accountability.
