'This man would help you if there was a way he could help you,' says a friend of the unarmed man who died in Minneapolis police custody
The death of the unarmed black man while in police custody -- graphically captured on video for 8 minutes and 46 seconds -- has sparked both peaceful and violent mass protests around the country.The increasingly incendiary response is not what Floyd, 46, would have wanted, according to his family and friends.
Floyd's life in Minneapolis, where he died during an arrest after allegedly making a purchase with a counterfeit $20 bill, continued the evolution that he had begun by distancing himself from the life of the streets in Houston, say his friends.Evidence of that struggle resurfaced in his autopsy. The initial, much-contested police report states that officers who responded to the "report of a forgery" encountered a suspect who "appeared to be under the influence.
"I would hear him talk to some of the younger guys, teenagers, people in their mid and early 20s. He's like, 'Man, I've been in your shoes before. I understand what it feels like to feel trapped. I understand what it feels like to feel like you only have one or two options.' But just as he empowered me, man, he empowered other people."Protestors demonstrate outside of a burning fast food restaurant in Minneapolis over the death of George Floyd.
