George Floyd is a black man who died after a police officer placed his knee on his neck and wouldn’t let him move even after he said, “I can’t breathe.”

It’s a heartbreaking situation…and this video that has surfaced of Mr. Floyd that was reportedly taken before he was killed just makes this whole situation even sadder and more tragic.

Mr. Floyd can be seen in the video talking about how “lost” the young generation is and offering advice on how to straighten up, telling them that one day it’ll just be them and God.

Clearly, this was a man who cared about what was happening in his community and with the young people that he lived around and he wanted to see change and help make that change possible, and now he’s gone.

George’s death sparked massive outrage and has led to protests and rioting in Minneapolis.

The governor of Minnesota has called for the National Guard to come in and help restore order and keep calm.

I hope that something good can come from this tragedy and that Mr. Floyd’s death will not have been in vain.
