The tour left that time open as a tribute to George Floyd, whose killing by a white police officer in Minneapolis sparked worldwide outrage and protest over social and racial injustice.The time reflects how long — 8 minutes, 46 seconds — authorities say the officer held his knee to the back of Floyd's neck.
