The murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer was captured on video and incited waves of protests in the US and around the world. When the jury swiftly and unanimously convicted the officer of all charges, huge crowds gathered to pay their respects to Floyd at the intersection where he took his last breaths. Three other officers face trial for aiding and abetting murder and manslaughter.
