Recently America has been in the Global news for racism allegation following the brutal killing of a black American by name George Floyd.
Reports has it that the Police were on site following a report of alleged forgery, on arriving there they arrested Floyd and handcuffed him without him resisting arrest as against the claims of police that he resisted arrest.
It is confirmed that he didn’t resist the police arrest because the surveillance footage across the street where the incident happened revealed that he was Peaceful from the onset of the arrest till he was killed.
He was held down to the ground under a police officers knees on his neck. He struggle to breath but to no avail.
In the video that went viral he was seen screaming “I can’t breath” but the Officer kneeling on his neck gave a deaf ear to his cry till he gave up the ghost.
The Christian faith have the consolation is that Floyd was a believer of Jesus Christ and lover of his family and people around him.
Check out some photos below:

Although reports has it that the police officers who were involved in the murder had been dismissed from work but I don’t know if that’s enough for such a crime committed.
The questions now are:
– When will black lives matter in the U.S when Donald Trump is still the President?
– Who is the next back American to be killed by another White police officer?
– How long will this continue?
May the Lord Rest His Soul and Comfort his family, friends and neighborhood.
