He was a black man who was killed by police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His murder was yet another instance of racist police violence in the US. However, his killing in the widely circulated video of his death triggered what was possibly the largest uprising in US history. Large-scale protests took place across the US and the world, beginning with Minneapolis, where Floyd was suffocated to death by former police officer Derek Chauvin. In the months of mobilizations that followed Floyd's killing, protesters reiterated long-standing demands ranging from defunding the police to demilitarization of the police to police abolition. After nearly a year of regular protests and organizing, Derek Chauvin, the prime accused in Floyd's murder, was convicted last month on April 28. The spread of the fires sparked by Floyd's killing seems to be unprecedented in the US. In less than two weeks, over 550 locations in the US alone had reported large demonstrations. According to a survey by Civil Analytics by June 6, 2020, anywhere between 15 million and 20 million people participated in demonstrations and protest rallies. These protests were also met with widespread and unhindered repression. In the first few weeks of protests, more than 14,000 people were estimated to have been arrested by the police. At least 25 deaths were reported during the course of the protests, excluding instances of police violence outside the protests. Hundreds were injured. Thousands of National Guard troops were deployed in 30 states, the biggest domestic mobilization of federal troops during peacetime in US history, and hundreds of protesters ended up being charged under federal crimes. The press was not spared either. More than 200 cases of arrests and physical attacks on journalists were reported in the year 2020, as per a report by the Committee to Protect Journalists. The protesters on the streets also demanded justice for other victims of racism. Breonna Taylor, Jacob Blake, Richard Brooks, Marshalist Jinit, Adam Toledo, Dante Wright, among others. But even then, police killings have continued unabated. According to research and advocacy group Mapping Police Violence, at least 1,068 people have been killed by the police since George Floyd's murder last year. The few reforms that have been enacted have not had any significant effect in reining these incidents. While Floyd's case at least resulted in the conviction of the primary accused, largely due to the widespread attention it received, other families are still waiting for justice. But the people are resolute in their resistance. They're continuing to take to the streets against these acts of racism and violence. New cases of police violence are now very often met with spontaneous protests at police stations. These have become new sites of resistance for the movement. Scrutiny has also begun to be put on police funding, which in metropolitan cities like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles goes up to billions of dollars, despite a spate of budget cuts last year. Having gone through the largest popular uprising since the civil rights movement, it would be difficult for the US to continue to remain the same. As the nation and the world remembers George Floyd and the countless others who have fallen victim to police murders, the movement continues to march ahead.
