Soon the 46-year-old Floyd choked to death as he could barely move. The incident triggered a fresh outcry over racial discrimination in the US.
Consequently, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey suspended the four police officers present during the incident. However, hundreds of protesters came out on the streets of Minneapolis to call for the prosecution of the officers and demand justice for Floyd’s murder.
