Black lives matter
Introduction
In 2020 George Floyd was murdered by a white cop named Derek Chauvin. Even though George Floyd did have a criminal past he served his time, and wanted to have a new life in the city of Minneapolis. Racism is a major problem.
Protesting
After George Floyd’s death, many people took it to the streets and protested. It enraged many people and caused burning buildings, conflict with police and many more. Statues were pulled down and wrecked. It was chaotic.
Effects
The effects towards this action are outrageous, it causes violence around the world, and police are still doing this like it's a trend. Yes they might have done something wrong, but they do not deserve to die, it will force darker people to live in the shadows until there is peace. Just because they were born dark, maybe even suntanned for too long, WHO KNOWS!!!!!! The world is unfair but this is the worst thing yet.
Different Opinions about the movement
Many people go by the motto “Forgive and forget” but it is hard to forget about this. The government has done nothing about this. People are still protesting, some police are still killing and a minor percent just forgot. The family of George Floyd is angry but hurt at the same time. The brother states “ he could have just handcuffed him or tased him, instead, he put his knee on his neck while he was begging for his life and still continued his ways”. That is truly heartbreaking.
Conclusion
In conclusion, people should not be forced to hide away and police should not kill darker people because they think they’re superior. Innocent or not, if they do wrong put them in prison that's what they're for. No one should be disrespected and killed while begging for their life from the “good guys”.
