‘During the last few days I have been thinking about how to express myself about what happened in Minneapolis.
‘I feel anger, hatred, pain, sadness, pity, indignation. Sad for George and for all blacks that suffer from racism EVERY DAY!
‘At Work, In football, at school, ANYWHERE! This has to come to an end, Not tomorrow or another day, it has to be TODAY!
‘Acts of racism must no longer be tolerated. I can’t even tolerate it any more.. WE SHALL NOT TOLERATE. LOVE is intelligence. STOP the violence. STOP racism.’
People across the world and in the United States have demanded for ‘justice’ over the death of George Floyd.
Floyd was pressed down on his neck for over eight minutes by a white police officer named Derek Chauvin, and later died on the scene in Minneapolis.
Thousands of Americans have taken to the streets to protest over the past few days and there have been violent clashes with the police in various regions.
