Last year, on May 25, the death of George Floyd was caused as a result of police brutality. Many of us have seen the footage of officer Derek Chauvin kneeling down on Mr Floyd and killing him.

I have known for a while now that incidents like these take place in our world, but no matter how often you hear about these things, your heart still breaks when you learn that another person has fallen victim to racial injustice.
