Dubai Residents Take To Social Media To Express Their Rage Over George Floyd’s Killing
The pain and fury over George Floyd’s wrongful death rang loud around the world as it brought humanity into questioning once again. Also bringing into question why African Americans still have to fight for basic human rights to this very day, when slavery ended all the way back in the late 1800s?

The footage of George Floyd’s unjustified killing by a former Minneapolis police officer was widely circulated online that created a global cry for justice.

Since then, Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer seen in the video with his knee pressed on George Floyd’s neck was arrested and is currently facing charges of third-degree murder and manslaughter, according to American Attorney Mike Freeman.

Dubai residents extended their support to the movement ‘#BlackLivesMatter’ and expressed their outrage towards the blatant disregard of human life and against extreme police brutality in the US.

Horrible protests broke out all over Minneapolis and neighbouring states over the killing of George Floyd

Although, these protests and acts of vandalism are being condemned as prominent figures have emphasized that vandalism has no purpose other than creating chaos and will NOT bring about any change.

Protests in the city of Minnesota have gone violent as demonstrators have vandalised cars, shops, offices, homes and have set a Minneapolis police station on fire.

Following the chaotic events, mayor of the US city of Minneapolis imposed a strict curfew between 8 pm and 6 am on Saturday and Sunday.
