US President Joe Biden this Thursday commemorated the third anniversary of the death of an African American at the hands of police officers. George Floyd urging Congress to “significant” police reform.
Floyd, 46, has died suffocated officer Derek Chauvin, who for several minutes pressed his knee on the victim’s neck in an incident that sparked mass protests across the country in the summer of 2020. Chauvin was convicted of murder.
After the incident, Democrats in Congress introduced a bill called the George Floyd Police Fairness Act, which has not yet received legislative approval.

“The killing of George Floyd has revealed to many what communities of color have long known and experienced,” Biden said in a statement released by the White House.
“As a society, we must commit ourselves to ensuring that our nation is true to its founding promise impartial justice for everyone who is under the law,” he added.
Biden recalled that a year ago, he signed executive orders that relate to the federal police and include, among other measures, a ban on strangulation, limiting searches that are carried out without knocking on the door, or creating a data bank to record police misconduct.
“But we know that real, sustainable change at the state and local levels requires congressional action.” “I urge Congress to undertake meaningful police reform,” he added.
Today, America mourns the death of George Floyd three years later.
I will never forget the words of Gianna Floyd: “Daddy changed the world.”
It unites people of all races and generations in the world and with the intent to say: Enough is enough.
