In 2020, Minneapolis police issued a statement saying George Floyd had died after a “medical incident”, and that he physically resisted officers and appeared to be in medical distress; minutes after the statement was released, bystander video was posted online. Protests over Floyd’s murder death began, with police riots caused by tense skirmishes developing between protesters and Minneapolis police. Four police officers who were involved in Floyd’s arrest were fired. #GeorgeFloyd |
