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.
Maybe it was Floyd calling out for his"mama," who had died three years before. Maybe it was the sequence of hashtags as a result of racism that happened in such a short time: #AhmaudArbery, #BreonnaTaylor, #BirdingWhileBlack. Maybe it was the combination of all of those things and more.Whatever it was, it led to a collective realization that spread around the country and around the globe that America has a systemic racism problem.
