These protests were ignited after the killings of Ahmaud Arbery, killed by three armed civilians, while jogging and Breonna Taylor and George Floyd by the police. Breonna Taylor was killed in her home, when police broke in mistaking her for someone else. George Floyd was killed when a police officer detained him by putting his knee on his neck for 8 minutes, while ignoring his pleas of "I can't breathe". George Floyd lost consciousness at the scene and was pronounced dead later at the hospital. #BlackLivesMatter #NoJusticeNoPeace #CollusionIsViolence #EnvironmentalJusticeforPOC
