Almost six years ago, Eric Garner took his last breath after being put in a chokehold by a New York City police officer.
His last words,"I can't breathe," became a rallying cry in the Black Lives Matter protest movement. This week the same words were used by George Floyd, a black man who died after a Minneapolis police officer placed his knee on Floyd's neck. Floyd was arrested Monday after officers responded to a call about an alleged forgery in progress. Video taken by witnesses shows 46-year-old Floyd pleading that he is in pain and can't breathe for several minutes.
Video shows Minneapolis officer kneeling on black man's neck 02:47Carr said she wants to see a different outcome in Floyd's case."We want criminal charges. This officer intended to take this man's life," Carr told CNN."There's no other way. Look at that video, they outright murdered that young man. No matter what he did, he wasn't doing anything to threaten them, so why would they kill that young man? Just like they killed my son," she said.
