George Floyd’s Family And Lawyers Take A Knee, Call For Justice As Trial Begins.
They also took a knee for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, the length of time for which Derek Chauvin was seen kneeling on Floyd’s neck last May in eyewitness video that circulated widely and helped ignite a nationwide reckoning over racial injustice and police brutality. Floyd’s attorneys said on Monday that they hoped justice would be served for him, his family and the entire country.
