Minneapolis: Black Man Murdered by Police as He Cries Out “I Can’t Breathe”
| revcom.us
On Monday, May 25, George Floyd was stopped by police in Minneapolis, supposedly for a “forgery in progress.” In a video taken by a bystander, one of the pigs is seen with a knee on the neck of the handcuffed Black man on the ground. Floyd repeatedly says “I can’t breathe” and “Don’t kill me.” After a few minutes, he stops moving. Another Black person murdered by police.
What kind of a system makes the accusation of forgery a crime deserving of death? How long will Black people be the constant victims of police abuse, terror and outright coldblooded murder? And when will we put an end to this system that has caused these outrages and more for over 400 years?!?!
