George Floyd: US House Of Reps Members Kneel In His Honor by nextstep(m): 7:29pm On Jun 08, 2020
In an unprecedented move, the US House of Representatives, led by Speaker Pelosi, knelt of nearly 9 minutes in silence, honoring and recognizing the unfortunate martyrdom of George Floyd.

Symbolically, most of them wore kente sashes/stoles, signifying their solidarity with the Black community worldwide.

In addition, several cities and members of the Democrat leadership plan to introduce sweeping police reform bills, with Minneapolis pledging to dismantle its police department.

Nancy Pelosi - The "martyrdom" of George Floyd will spark changes in policing.

In addition to protests across America, there have been messages of solidarity and protest from Nigeria, UK, Korea, Japan, Australia, among others. I sincerely hope all the protests across the world results in serious changes that will reduce racist behavior - especially among Americans to others of color.

Empty gesture.

Too late, devils. Time's up. You will pay what you owe. Time to collect.
