Demonstrations and violent protests have broken out in cities throughout the country following the police-involved Memorial Day death of George Floyd, a Minneapolis security guard, father, son, and friend to many. Video of Mr. Floyd being slowly strangled to death was horrifying to witness and particularly painful for his family, friends and members of the African American community. As a nation, we continue to mourn the death of Mr. Floyd and accompany his family in their grief.
