George Floyd - News on Mega 5 Stars

The family of George Floyd speaks out after the Ex-Police Officer 'Derek Chauvin' was Found Guilty of 2nd-degree murder, 3rd-degree murder, and 2nd-degree manslaughter. On May 25, 2020, the police was called to a store in Minneapolis after a clerk alleged Mr. Floyd passed a counterfeit bill. The police arrived at the scene and began to arrest George Floyd. 

On the officer's bodycam of the arrest, you can see Floyd telling the officers who were trying to put him in the police car that he's claustrophobic and he has anxiety. As they continued trying to put him in the car, Floyd said he's going to die. Moments later while they still attempt to keep him in the vehicle, he said he couldn't breathe. 

As the arrest continued, in other videos shared across social media, you can see ex-officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd's neck and back and you can hear Floyd saying "I Can't Breathe" and at moments calling out for his mother. Chauvin continued to bear weight even after bystanders alerted him that Floyd was struggling to breathe.

Later you can see people alerting the officers that George Floyd was unconscious and he needed help. Mr. Floyd passed away that day and a Wikipedia post states that the cause of death was Murder/homicide (Cardiopulmonary arrest due to neck compression).

After the guilty verdict, Al Sharpton, Attorneys, other Civil Rights Leaders, and George's Family spoke during the press conference. George's brother said he can finally sleep. As he became emotional, he spoke about the pain of watching his brother being murdered over and over again in the courtroom. He also spoke about Daunte Wright (who was recently killed by a police officer) and how the people have to march and continue to protest because he feels like it's a never-ending cycle.
