Murder of George Floyd made him a household name overnight. With Eric Chauvin kneeling on his neck and ignoring the bystanders, incremental shortage of breath led to an incredible tragedy that impacted the course of the Black movement in America.

Floyd's tragic death, whose footage shocked the world, ended up being quite consequential. The former Minneapolis police officer was ultimately found guilty of all three charges.

The sentence was essential to appease the Black community with a piece of justice after decades of ongoing brutality against African-Americans.
