The 46-year-old died after being pinned to the ground by police.
George Floyd, a Black 46-year-old man, died on Monday after being pinned to the ground by a police officer in south Minneapolis. Bystander footage shows the officer kneeling on Floyd's neck, as Floyd protests that he can't breathe before going silent while bystanders yell for him to be let go. Police say they confronted Floyd on suspicion he'd tried to use a fake $20 bill at a grocery store. He died at a medical center shortly after the encounter.
However, Floyd's family, along with criminal justice advocates, are calling for the officers to be charged with murder. Before the video emerged, the police report said that Floyd resisted arrest and that he died"after a medical incident" during a police interaction. Nearby security footage camera aired onshowing the moments prior to his arrest reveal him cooperating with police.
