On Monday night, Minnesota resident George Floyd, an African-American man, died at the age of 46 after a white police officer pinned his knee against Floyd's neck, while he struggled for air and begged for his life.
As footage of the incident spread around the Internet, protests broke out in Minneapolis, resulting in many arrests in the city.
