It was 25 May of 2020, when a person George Floyd was arrested by police when was using duplicate note of $20 in a grocery store. The police officer who arrest, George Floyd, killed him in very brutal way as that officer put his knee on the George neck which causes his death and all this incident was happen in the public and this incident is also recorded which was get viral on the social media few post days. This incident show the issue of police brutality as for a little crime how police killed a person and people near that policeman also asks him to leave George but he refuse and he become a cause for George's death. When the video of whole incident get viral on social media then it shows to the whole world that how the police of US treats their citizens.
But it was not only a single case which came out but in past there are many cases when police treats people like this. And by seeing this people gets frustrated as they have also seen these cases in past and this incident was clearly recorded in the video, so many people came out and protest against this and in many places this protest also become violent.
But the question is that how this incident is related to racism as Black Lives Matter???
Actually the person George Floyd who was killed, he belongs to African american descent as black race and the police officer who killed him he belongs to white race. This incident also covers black and white race and people of US also said that US police mostly target black people and in the protest also people use the slogan "Black Lives Matter" as organisation Black Lives Matter came outside very vastly and protest this racism. But the question arises that is really the US police mostly target Black people???
If we talk about fact then the data of last year shows that police killed almost 1000 people in US last year in which 24% was Blacks and 49% was whites. Bu it doesn't mean that their are less number of blacks who were killed, thee people of Black Lives Matter had also said that their is huge population difference between blacks and whites in US. So there were more blacks who were killed last year and there are also 74% of prisoner who were blacks and was later they get bailed because they didn't do any crime and police had arrest them without any reason.
This shows that the police of US is racist at some points. The US Police arrests more black people it should also be intentionally and non-intentionally. This is called as systemic racism which reflect social and political institution, for example income inequality blacks are more poor than whites, employment black are more unemployed than whites, housing more blacks are homeless than whites, education black are less literate than whites, this also shows that racism is reflects in all aspects.
This all is also due to history as the blacks was not treated well by whites in past times as they also didn't have right to vote, their should be very less chances that their grandfather buy a property for their next generation.
This protest is also become violent in many parts as their is no one who tries to make it non-violent. So it should not be happen as this also results that police of US become more violent than people. So people should have to protest this in a descent way.
