| − | '''George Floyd''' was an [[African American]] ex-con and drug addict who died of a [[Fentanyl]] overdose while attempting to tamper with and hide evidence,<ref>https://www.fox9.com/news/court-filings-medical-examiner-thought-george-floyd-had-fatal-level-of-fentanyl-in-system</ref> shortly after being taken into custody by [[Minneapolis]] police officer [[Derek Chauvin]]. After fighting with police and resisting arrrest, Floyd was placed in a hold approved by the city's Democrat administration.<ref>https://www.lawofficer.com/neck-hold-used-by-minneapolis-officer-was-approved-by-department-policy/</ref> An angry mob gathered during the incident, interfering with police work and threatening the arresting officers. | + | '''George Floyd''' was an [[African American]] who was killed at the hands of [[Derek Chauvin]] on May 25, 2021, after kneeling on his neck for 9 minutes. The attack stemmed from Chauvin's belief that Floyd had used counterfeit money at a local store, which he had no proof for and ending up being false. While some have claimed fentanyl was part of what killed him, there was nowhere near enough to be fatal or even dangerous found in his system. The murder was filmed by local teenager Darnella Frazier who has since been awarded a Pulitzer Prize. |
