The Killing of George Floyd
Protesters have clashed with police in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd.
Footage of Mr. Floyd, shirtless and unarmed, being pinned to the ground by a police officer with his foot on Floyd's neck, went viral this week. The man can be heard pleading with the officer, “please please, I can't breathe.” Soon after the video was recorded George Floyd died. The police were responding to a report of forgery in which they believed Mr. Floyd to be the suspect. Four officers involved with the deadly arrest have been fired, and the FBI and state agents are investigating the case.
A demonstration grew on the streets where Mr. Floyd died and protesters marched to the police station. Police windows plus a patrol car were damaged and graffiti was sprayed on the building. Riot police retaliated with tear gas and projectiles, which protesters kicked back toward them.

@rt-international, While extremely disturbing, this just highlights an issue that many, I'm sure, have often wondered about. "With the increased scrutiny of the SERIAL KILLER, where can they find victims? Well, of course they have donned the Blue and are now protected so they can kill without repercussion.
Of course, I am not serious in this observation, but then again, it really is quite possible.
Keep up the Good work! Thank you.
