George Floyd was a 60 year old man who died on May 25 2020. That day he was writing a check and according to the people around him they thought it looked suspicious. That led to people calling the cops. The cops then started to follow him to see what he was doing. After a few minutes the officers pulled him the the floor. A few minutes later Floyd started to say that he couldn’t breathe and his neck and stomach hurts, that didn’t make the cop get up. After a few minutes of complaining Floyd eventually died in the street.

This article is mostly about human rights in my opinion the reason why is because Floyd an innocent black man that was killed by white cop. The cop was putting pressure on his neck with his knees for about 5 to 10 minutes. The next day after they went to the same place he was killed and processed it and destroyed everything.

New York City's Commission on Human Rights has launched an investigation into the clash in Central Park where a white woman sparked outrage when she called 911 on a black man after he asked her to put her dog on a leash.

The agency, which is mandated to fight discrimination in the five boroughs, announced its probe late Tuesday and sent a letter to Amy Cooper, the woman who made the call, asking her to cooperate with the investigation.

"At a time when the devastating impacts of racism in Black communities have been made so painfully clear - from racial disparities in COVID-19 outcomes, to harassment of essential workers on the frontlines - it is appalling to see these types of ugly threats directed at one New Yorker by another," Sapna Raj, Deputy Commissioner of the Law Enforcement Bureau at the NYC Commission on Human Rights, said in a statement.

"Efforts to intimidate black people by threatening to call law enforcement draw on a long, violent and painful history, and they are unacceptable."

If Cooper is found guilty by the commission, she could face a fine or be assigned sensitivity training. The agency could also award damages to Christian Cooper, the birder Amy Cooper called 911 on during their 8 a.m. interaction in Central Park's Ramble on Monday.

According to Christian, a former editor at Marvel Comics who filmed part of their encounter, he asked Amy to leash her dog Henry, then offered her pooch a treat when she refused, hoping it would cause her to reconsider. Instead, Amy grabbed her dog and angrily demand Christian turn off his phone.

"I'm going to tell them there's an African-American man threatening my life," Amy says in the video, after telling Christian she was calling cops.

"I'm in the Ramble, and there's a man, African American," she tells the operator, her voice rising with hysteria as Henry thrashes around to free himself from a seeming choke hold on his collar.

"I'm being threatened," she starts to yell. "Please send the cops immediately!"

The video, shared on social media by Christian's sister Melody, quickly went viral.

As a result, Amy Cooper was fired from her job at her investment company Franklin Templeton.

Critics want Amy Cooper charged with filing a false report, but neither she nor Christian were around when cops arrived, so no report was taken.

Deputy Commissioner Benjamin Tucker on Tuesday said cops weren't going to pursue the matter -- a response that outraged former cop and current Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who held a pres conference in Central Park Wednesday to demand action.

"Zero tolerance" should be applied when someone makes a racially motivated 911 call with false accusations, Adams said.

"I am calling on the (NYPD) commissioner to send detectives to the (Christian Cooper's) house to look at the tape," Adams said.

"Then the next stop is to send those detectives to Amy's house and put her in handcuffs to send a strong message that you will not use the police department to go after individuals," Adams said.

What we know about Mr. Floyd's death:

Mr. Floyd lived in St. Louis Park, a Minneapolis suburb. He was pronounced dead at 9:25 p.m. Monday at Hennepin County Medical Center, according to the medical examiner.

Mr. Floyd graduated from Yates High in 1993, the Houston school district confirmed on Wednesday.

Cyril N. White, 45, said he knew Mr. Floyd when they were both star high school athletes playing basketball. Both received scholarships to play in college, with Mr. Floyd going to a community college in Florida, Mr. White said.

Ms. Tate said her cousin moved to Minneapolis four or five years ago, and Ms. Brown said he talked about the city as a welcoming place.

The arrest of Mr. Floyd took place on Monday evening. The Minneapolis Police Department said in a statement that officers had responded to a call about a man suspected of forgery. The police said the man was found sitting on top of a blue car and "appeared to be under the influence."

The statement said that officers had called for an ambulance.

On Tuesday morning, without referring to the video recorded by a bystander, the police updated a statement, titled "Man Dies After Medical Incident During Police Interaction," saying that additional information had "been made available" and that the F.B.I. was joining the investigation.

Video Shows Arrested Man Telling Police He Can't Breathe

A bystander's video in Minneapolis shows a police officer with his knee on a man's neck during an arrest. The man died a "short time" later, the police said.

Arrested man: [moaning] "What you trying to say?" Police officer: "Relax." Arrested man: "Man, I can't breathe - my face -" [inaudible] Police officer: "What do you want?"

The bystander video shows a white Minneapolis police officer pressing his knee into a black man's neck during an arrest, as the man repeatedly says, "I can't breathe," and, "Please, I can't breathe."

Mr. Frey, the Minneapolis mayor, said on Tuesday that he did not know how the initial police statement, describing a "medical incident," had come to be written, but he said he wanted to be "absolutely astransparent as possible."

"It's the kind of thing where you don't hide from the truth, you lean into it, because our city is going to be better off for it, no matter how ugly, awful it is," he said. "If it points out the institutional racism that we are still working through right now, well, good - it means thatwe've got a lot of work to go."

On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Frey tweeted that four officers involved in the case had been terminated. "This is the right call," he said.

Ben Crump, a civil rights lawyer representing Mr. Floyd's family members, said they wanted to see murder charges filed against the police officers.

Ms. Tate, Mr. Floyd's cousin, agreed that the officers should face serious consequences.

"I would like to see the officers charged with murder and convicted," she said. "I would not be happy with anything less. In my mind, they executed him."

Protests in Minneapolis After George Floyd's Death

Buildings burned in Minneapolis as anger intensified over the death of George Floyd, who died after being handcuffed and pinned by a police officer's knee.

"... prosecute the police. No justice, no peace, prosecute the police. No justice, no peace, prosecute the police." "I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe." "I want to hear you all say, 'It could have been me.'" Crowd: "It could have been me." [cars honking, crowd shouting] "Fall back!" [blast] [explosions]

Hundreds of protesters poured into the Minneapolis streets for a second night on Wednesday, with officers using tear gas and firing rubber bullets into the crowds. Images on television and social media revealed at least one business, an auto parts store, on fire and people carrying goods out of a store that had been vandalized.

Some demonstrators gathered at the house of Mr. Chauvin and the house of the local prosecutor, according to The Star Tribune. There were also protests in Memphis and Los Angeles, where law enforcement faced off with those who had blocked the 101 Freeway downtown.

"Him firing the four officers expeditiously is a big deal," Mr. Nelson said.

As the video spread on social media on Monday night, the arrest quickly drew comparisons to the case of Eric Garner, a black man who died in New York police custody in 2014 after an officer held him in a chokehold. Mr. Garner's repeated plea of "I can't breathe" - also recorded by a cellphone - became a rallying cry at demonstrations against police misconduct around the country.

Similar high-profile cases have generated large protests and given rise to a national debate over police conduct toward black people, as happened in 2016 after an African-American man, Philando Castile, was shot dead by a police officer during a traffic stop in a suburb of St. Paul, Minn. The officer, Jeronimo Yanez, was later acquitted of second-degree manslaughter and of endangering safety by discharging a firearm in the shooting.

Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, called the Floyd episode "sickening."

"We will get answers and seek justice," he said.

Reporting was contributed by Christine Hauser, Derrick Bryson Taylor, Neil Vigdor, Audra D.S. Burch, John Eligon, Neil MacFarquhar and Manny Fernandez.

Beijing ordered that a new law be written to extend many of mainland China's security practices to Hong Kong, creating broad powers to quash unrest.

BEIJING - China officially has the broad power to quash unrest in Hong Kong, as the country's legislature on Thursday nearly unanimously approved a plan to suppress subversion, secession, terrorism and seemingly any acts that might threaten national security in the semiautonomous city.

The process for drafting and enacting the new law is prompting concerns.

The Standing Committee of China's legislature is writing the new rules on its own, without consulting Hong Kong experts. Once the legislation is written, the Beijing-appointed leadership of Hong Kong is required to put it into law immediately.

Some pro-democracy lawyers have questioned whether Beijing's process for issuing the law isconstitutional. But Hong Kong designates the Chinese government as the final arbiter on constitutional questions in the territory.

"We are a very free society, so for the time being, people have the freedom to say whatever they want to say," said Hong Kong's chief executive, Carrie Lam, center. Credit... Lam Yik Fei for The New York Times

The latest national security plan also widens the definition of subversion.

The 2003 bill was aimed at subversion against the "Central People's Government." That would have included government agencies under China's cabinet, known as the State Council, said Albert Chen, a Hong Kong University law professor who advises Beijing on constitutional issues. But it is less clear whether it would have encompassed acts against the Chinese Communist Party.

The wild card in the new rules could be international pushback.

Mr. Lau said that if the United States took strong action, it would only reinforce Beijing's concerns that foreign powers were using the city to undermine China's national security. American measures may prompt the Standing Committee to write even more stringent legislation this summer, he added.
