Floyd's Murder Promises Unfulfilled: Five Years On, Change Remains Elusive in America
The world five years after George Floyd's murder is still waiting for meaningful change from law enforcement reforms promised by those in power, as many communities continue to experience police brutality and systemic racism. Five years ago, a video of Floyd begging for his life while being choked under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer sparked widespread protests and calls for reform.
The promised changes following George Floyd's murder five years ago have yet to materialize, leaving many in Minneapolis and across the US feeling frustrated and disillusioned. The city had vowed to reform its police department and address systemic racism, but progress has been slow and limited. Many advocates for justice say that despite some token reforms, the root causes of police brutality remain unaddressed. The lack of tangible change has sparked renewed calls for accountability from community leaders and activists.
