George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officers. We all saw it on video. It triggered something in most of us. Maybe it was how long the torture lasted, 8 minutes and 46 seconds. Maybe it was the nonchalant attitude of former officer Derek Chauvin, as he kept his knee on Floyd's neck, despite the crowd's pleas that he let him go. Maybe it was George Floyd's last words. "I can't breathe." Words we've heard before from Eric Garner, another black man whose death became a hashtag and a rallying cry.
