4
years ago

25 May 2020,

In the US, African-American George Floyd was strangled by police Derek Chauvin, crushing Floyd's neck from his knee. The video that collected the event quickly spread, causing a huge social explosion, both in the US and outside it. Against racism and calling for justice, there were major disturbances between protesters and the police. Floyd became for many a symbol of injustice.
