The shocking on-camera killing of George Floyd is
drawing attention around the globe, reported the Voice
of America Journal. The viral video
reignited racial tensions and highlighted police
brutality in the United States.
According to VOA, anti-U.S. protests deploring the
black man’s death erupted in Western capitals on
Sunday and newspaper headlines heaped scorn on
American police over the incident last week in
Minneapolis.
Floyd, a black man, died after white police officer
Derek Chauvin pressed a knee on the back of his neck
for more than eight minutes, even as Floyd repeatedly
said he could not breathe. The incident was captured
on video.
Thousands of protesters gathered in central London to
voice support for American demonstrators who have
marched in dozens of U.S. cities over the last five
days to condemn the police conduct. Some of the worst
U.S. violence in decades has erupted, with police cars
and government buildings set afire, stores ransacked
and looted, and public monuments defaced.
