General Surgeon Dr. Samuel Christian has expressed grave concern against the act of Police Brutality in the United States of America against people of African descent. Dr. Christian verbalized his disgust toward the most recent Police Crime, the killing of a 46-year-old who was unarmed and which occurred on 25th May 2020. Currently the FBI and authorities in Minnesota have launched investigations into the death of an African American man, George Floyd, 46, after an incident captured on video showed Floyd handcuffed and pinned to the ground by a white Minneapolis police officer, with his knee on Floyd’s neck, on Monday. In the footage, George Floyd can be heard shouting “I cannot breathe” and “Don’t kill me!” He then becomes motionless, eyes closed, face-first on the road. On Tuesday, hundreds of protesters, many in face masks, lined the Minneapolis intersection where Floyd died. Some carried signs reading “I can’t breathe” and “jail killer KKKops”, chanting: “Prosecute the police.”Protesters marched through the neighbourhood to a city police precinct, where windows were damaged and squad cars sprayed with graffiti. Police in riot gear fired teargas and deployed stun grenades at demonstrators. Dr Samuel Christian revealed that he is touched by these stories and added that the rotten eggs within the police service in Dominica, the US and around the world must be weeded out by others within the justice system. He continued his statement by comparing the George Floyd scenario with Police brutality brought upon the residences of Salisbury in Dominica over the years. General Surgeon, Dr. Samuel Christian
