George Floyd, a 46-year-old man, was pinned down by police at the beginning of this week, restricting his airway for several minutes as he pleaded with them, saying that he could not breathe. A video has been circulating showing the incident, which is truly disturbing and disgusting. Floyd was later pronounced dead.
Four police officers have been fired following the death of George Floyd and Donald Trump has promised justice for the man’s family. Riots have been breaking out across the country as people are tired of hearing about racist police brutality incidents, with a Target store being looted last night and multiple surrounding buildings being set on fire.

Doing his part in raising awareness for the continued problem, Juelz Santana has released a freestyle track dedicated to George Floyd, dropping bars about the situation and speaking out in his own way.
“All they wanna do is prosecute us, shoot us when they ain’t gotta shoot us,” he raps. “They kill us, turn around and then protect their own/Meanwhile, we can’t even protect our own.”
Like the rest of us, Juelz Santana is frustrated about constantly facing racial discrimination in the world. For now, this track is only available on the rapper’s IG page. Listen below.
