George Floyd's death: Why the protests are so strong this time

Oct 7,2023 9:30 pm

thousands of Americans take to The Streets to protest about Racism - Many for the First Time in her life. Why did this particular tragedy as a chord?

George Floyd is The First African American whose death in police custody triggered protests.

There were also demonstrations and calls for Change after Tamir Rice, Michael Brown and Eric Garner killed by The Police .

But This Time seems to be different, with the answer, More durable and widespread. There are demonstrations in the United States - in all 50 States and DC, including in the cities and the rural communities that are predominantly white.

" Local governments, sports and business to take a position, This Time , especially with the Minneapolis city Council pledge to the dismantling of The Police .

And The Black lives matter protests This Time , seem to be More mixed-bred with a larger number of white protesters and demonstrators from other ethnicities, standing with a black-and-activists.

A Number of different factors, to create the combined, "the perfect storm for rebellion" about George Floyd's death, Frank Leon Roberts , an activist who teaches a course on The Black Lives Matter movement at New York University , told The Bbc .

Floyd's death was particularly "cruel and obviously,'

A Police Officer Derek Chauvin, holding his knee, the Mr Floyd ' s neck, Said almost nine minutes - as Mr Floyd over and over again "I can't breathe" and was finally responding. The Incident was clearly recorded on video.

"In Many of the previous incidents of police violence, There is the possibility of an ambiguous Narrative - it is Said a partial view of What Happened , or the Police Officer that you Said a split-second decision, because They feared for their lives," Said Mr Roberts.

"In this case, it was clearly an act of Injustice - where people could This Man [Floyd] see, unarmed, and movement was completely incapable. "

Wengfay Ho (second from left) Said she went into a black life means. March for the First Time to George Floyd 's death, Many of which were the recent protests>for the First Time demonstrators Who Said to see George Floyd's death made you feel, you just could not stay home More .

"There are hundreds of cases of death not captured on video, But I think the abomination, and the obvious hatred of the video aroused in The People " Sarina LeCroy, a protester from Maryland, told The Bbc .

Similarly, Wengfay Ho Said , you have always The Black Lives Matter supported The Movement , But George Floyd's death was a "catalyst" that prompted to take to The Streets for the First Time .

"He asked, much More feeling, and The Call for Change is so much More urgent right now".

It Comes during a pandemic, and high unemployment

"it Changes the story when she argues to an unexpected convergence of forces", Mr Roberts.

Mr. Floyd's death came in The Middle of the Corona-Virus pandemic has led Americans to remain ordered in their homes, and caused the highest unemployment since The Great Depression in The 1930S .

"you have a situation where the entire country is on lockdown, and More of The People in the television. More and More people are forced to pay attention - you are less able to Look Away , less distracted. "

The pandemic has already changed The Way We Live and work, and too Many Americans led to home, "wondering what the parts are normal, not acceptable," he added.

And on a practical level, that means the 13% unemployment rate, More and More people to protest as usual and the campaign, without juggling with work commitments.

" It was The Last straw,'

Mr Floyd's death came shortly after the death of Ahmaud Arbery and BREO Anna Taylor.

Mr Arbery, 25, was shot dead on 23 February, while Jogging, in Georgia, according to residents, he resembled suspect a break-in. BREO Anna Taylor, 26, was a health worker who was shot eight times when The Police entered their apartment in Kentucky.

Both of their names were on the posters at the recent Black Affairs, protests, Lives, to sing with the protesters, asked Ms Taylor ' s name.

Mr Roberts described Mr. Floyd's death as "The Last straw for Many of the municipalities", and added that the fact that this happened in the summer, when people want to go outside, is also important.

The fact that in this year of elections also means that politicians tend to respond, He Said .

These protests appear to be More mixed-bred

While There are no hard data on the ethnicity of the demonstrators, Many appear to be of the demonstrations that have a high percentage of Fans who are not African-American Themselves .

Laura Hopman brought her nine-year-old sons with her to on Saturday , the protests in DC

For example, in Washington Dc , went to tens of thousands on The Streets on Saturday and to be about half of The Crowd seemed, not black. Many of the protesters brought posters that highlighted, specifically their desire for allies to The Movement .

part of this could relate to a shift in the Opinion

it is proposed that 74 percent of Americans felt that The Killing of Mr. Floyd, was part of a larger problem in The Treatment of African Americans by The Police .

This Was a sharp increase from a similar survey in the year 2014, after the death of Michael Brown and Eric Garner - where 43 percent of Americans feel that these incidents are the General problems reflected, ABC reported.

During The Black Lives Matter movement "has always been multi-racial. white people in the USA have not really Said a vocabulary to talk about race", Mr Roberts.

"It is uncomfortable, and you think that a conversation about Racism is an attack on their existence, or have the feeling that you have no license to offend if you are someone. "

However, He Said , he now looks More white allies speak and "feel More comfortable with the uncomfortable".

in addition to the major demonstrations in the major cities, it has also been described locally As One of the "Most racist places" in Illinois, the once notorious as a stronghold of the Ku Klux Klan white supremacist group.

More about George Floyd's death

the fact that The circumstances around Mr. Floyd's death seemed particularly clear-cut may also be made, associations made it easier for The People .

In an Opinion piece with the title "" Journalist Judy Muller Said she was "totally gobsmacked" to about 40 people to a vigil in Norwood, Colorado.

The night's watch, the organizers Said , "support for The Police , and Black Lives matter are exclusive", while a local board of Trustees, the Republicans, Candy Meehan, Said : "I do not think that this is a political matter... it is Wrong Wrong . "

Ceri Menendez (left) Said she had never felt a Black Lives matter March - But it was important to show up now

Black-and-activists welcomed the extended support.

Eric Wood , a DC resident, Said he joined demonstrations after Trayvon Martin 's death in 2012, and BREO Anna Taylor ' s death at the beginning of this year, But the current wave of protests, the largest were "likely".

"African-Americans and minorities to protest this [Racism ] for years. Our votes do not hold as much energy As If we have some of our white colleagues, to help us. "

Meanwhile, Mr Roberts argues: "the history was clear that The People who must Change before The Dam breaks, are people, are the beneficiaries of the existing Systems . "

The Police have actions impact?

The vast majority of protests in the US were Peaceful - and in some cases, local police officers also showed their support.

However, There were some high-profile confrontations and clashes between demonstrators and The Police .

last week, authorities forcibly removed Peaceful protestors from the square in front of the White house. Shortly after President Donald Trump crossed the road on his photo in front of a Church.

dozens of journalists covering the protests also reported targeted by security forces with Tear Gas , rubber bullets and pepper spray.

Some of the demonstrators on The Streets after They felt The Police excessive use of Force .

"This is the First Time in My Life I have been afraid of The Police "

Ben Longwell and Justine Summers Said , you are the medical workers who decided to join the protests in DC, in spite of the difficulty of maintaining social distancing as a result of the activities of The Police .

"this is the First Time in My Life , I'm afraid of The Police ," Said Mr. Longwell Said .

Meanwhile, Ms Summers Said she had not planned to be There - But "when I Heard how violent The Police were always... it seemed like a thing I had to do".

But he was also confident to say: "We Live in a country where There are only a Rosa Parks -like the moment it takes to Change things. "
