A timeline of the killing of George Floyd and the Minneapolis protests

, 46, was the most recent black person to be killed by police — a death that has sparked a literal fire in Minneapolis, where he died. Below, we have compiled an ongoing timeline of what is known about his death, as well as the civil unrest that has occurred since.

The video showed a white police office kneeling on a black man’s neck in the midst of the arrest. The man, Floyd, repeatedly tells the cop that he can’t breathe. After several minutes, the man ceases to move, yet the officer still bears down on his neck. Bystanders call for the officer to let the man go. “He’s not even resisting arrest right now, bro,” one says, while another informs the officer that Floyd’s nose is bleeding and that he looks like he’s about to pass out.

start with the union

Did yall just say overhaul That's not what news is saying its called dismantle the police with Minneapolis having one of the highest crime rate what are you gonna do when the crime makes it to your plush gated communities? Who you gonna call then ghost busters lol wow stupid

Lmao wath's going in the dems states

If they meant to fix the problem, they wouldn't leave it to the chance of a vote. They would just act. A vote in this circumstance is a back door out.

I've noticed most of the EDM community isn't acknowledging what's happening. Tiesto's Twitter account blocked me when I asked why he isn't saying anything! Thank you for showing solidarity. I wonder if the EDM 'artists' are afraid of finding out how many bigoted fans they have.

I’d rather be making music ✌🏼❤️🇦🇺🥁

Blackout was gay

WHY STOP THE PROTESTS? The protests manifest more deaths and divides (racism), the very thing that the protestors’ protest.

The accumulative domino effect of one man buying a pack of cigarettes in Minnesota with a counterfeit $20 is simply astounding.

Right on

The church had been damaged by protestors.

RS continues tweet after tweet trying to rile the public, and promoting demonstrations which we know often turn into looting. Then these sleaze bags blame the president for saying we need to stop the violence!

Trump reacts to demonstrations re murder of GeorgeFloyd calling governors cowards, sending troops and not mentioning the plight of Blacks. As Sinclair Lewis said, 'When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.' Or in Trump's case, a bible.

Trump reportedly held the Bible upside down. Only The Beast does that. He was sending a sign.

We are fucked

“those who let the murderers of blacks remain free, protecting them, and furthermore punishing the black population because they demand their legitimate rights as free men — how can those who do this consider themselves guardians of freedom?” -Che

You cannot tell me Antifa are not Whites

I wonder what Ja Rule has to say about what is going on

I would stake my life that when aides told dumbass-in-chief he was going to the White House bunker, this is what came to his mind.

'And visits a White House bunker'🤣 That's pretty good, makes it sound like he was just inspecting the bunker while passing through instead of hiding in it like an fat orange wuss...

Like a white girl pressed against the window raised her fist in solidarity with the protesters, in a '94 head-on collision w/ a garbage truck, Indie PA filmmaker Lance Weiler said he went out the windshield after he broke his jaw on the steering wheel. Lucid dreams followed.

The cop has been arrested several days ago. They don’t care about George Floyd. They just enjoy destroying stuff.

Bye RS

“from Dr. Dre to Jay-Z” - is that supposed to imply a range of perspectives?

Burn down RS....traders

Musicians are not cowards.

Inaccurate statement it wasn't the police, it was A POLICE OFFICER, singular!

When mainstream news media can't grasp the definition of the word 'protest' for fear of antagonising the baying mob; integrity? Journalism has none.

Burning the city down doesn’t give GeorgeFloyd any justice. Just making other struggle more.

Burn it all.

Ufffffffffff
