As the nation grapples with George Floyd's tragic death, issues of racism and police conduct are understandably at the forefront of the discussion.
Floyd was killed during an altercation with Minneapolis police after an officer held him down by placing his knee on Floyd's neck. Floyd pleaded with the officer that he couldn't breathe, and bystanders begged the officer to stop. Floyd became unresponsive and died shortly thereafter.

According to a new report from the New York Post, Floyd had been trying to start a better life in Minneapolis after being released from jail in Texas. He had secured two jobs -- one driving trucks and another as a bouncer at the restaurant Conga Latin Bistro, where he was known as “Big Floyd.”
He was working hard, and his friends say he was doing his best to get his life on track.
