Protesters all over the U.S. and around the world are demanding justice and police accountability after a video surfaced of a Minneapolis police officer kneeling on George Floyd’s neck until he went unconscious.
Floyd died on May 25 and the video of his final moments sparked outrage and protests in the Central Florida area. Rep. Val Demings, who could potentially run for vice president alongside Joe Biden, and who served as the chief of the Orlando Police Department, is calling for law enforcement agencies nationwide to end the neck restraint tactics like the one former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin was seen using on Floyd.
