In Search of the New Hispanic George Floyd Through Political-Racial Manipulation
On May 25, 2020, the owner of a store in South Minneapolis called the police to report an individual, George Floyd, who had apparently purchased a pack of cigarettes using a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill. When the police arrived and arrested George Floyd, he resisted.
During the struggle, Floyd suffered a heart attack that caused his death; according to another medical report, the cause was asphyxiation. One of the arresting officers, Derek Chauvin, was sentenced to 22 years in prison on June 25, 2021.
