On Memorial Day, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died after an officer placed his knee to his neck while taking him into custody. Floyd pleaded that he was in pain and couldn’t breathe for several minutes. His death, reigniting a national reckoning, has reopened old wounds brought on by the chokehold death of Eric Garner almost 6 years ago.
