George Floyd's death has led to nationwide calls for police reform (Credit: Fibonacci / CC-BY-SA-2.0/ Commons. Wikimeda.org)

The unwarranted death of George Floyd, an unarmed African American man, by a Minneapolis, MN, police officer on May 25, 2020, has reignited the debate about race-based police abuse. Protestors argue that the current law enforcement system encourages systemic racism and are calling for nationwide police reform. In addition to changing the laws, activists are also making a strong case for "defunding the police."

    I have many cop friends, so I love cops. I understand REFORMING, but defunding would probably make more cops retire or quit. That being said, cops are pretty much a vital source nowadays. Reforming them would definitely help! #backtheblue

              It does not make sense to protest about something that happened years ago, people just want to fight about something because they are being quarantined. 😷 #JUSTSTOPIT

                  All people should be equal. Some people say, "Well, life isn't fair," but it should be. I don't like people who say that. We can change, we should at least make peace with each other because violence is not the answer.

                    I do agree, I don't like violence, but sometimes, Violence IS the ONLY thing people will listen to. There have been THOUSANDS of peaceful protests, and can you name 1 time when peaceful protests really changed a law? [maybe besies Martin Luther King,] I do agree, violence isn't good, but Black people a probably tired of not being listened to.

                      I'm sure that you've said " life isn't fair " at least once in your life. We all have. But yes I agree, violence is not the answer. ALL LIVES MATTER!!!!!🙏

                        i agree but riots are too much, the peaceful protests are okay but robbing walmarts and defacing graves and statues in his honor is just insanely hateful not heroic as the rioters think it is.
