And that's what happened to George Floyd. Hell, I even made a meme picture of that same quote juxtaposed with Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd specifically to showcase that point. I was going to post it, but I'm not sure if actually posting it would be okay with the site's rules, since it is, you know, a real person's last moments of life, but, then again, at least Floyd's death wasn't gory, and the quote does highlight the injustice of his death and how he became a martyr.
If you like, you can post the meme in ‘Questions for Staff’. We’ll have a butcher’s and let you know.
