We are now three months removed from the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. Three months removed from protesters in downtown Minneapolis chasing police out of the local precinct, and burning it down. Three months removed from a moment that captured the world. People all around the globe, from Minneapolis to Phoenix, from Detroit to Tokyo, joined together to protest police violence. Not just Floyd’s killing, but all police violence, and how it has impacted their communities.
Something about these protests seemed to really click. Black Lives Matter finally became popular in public opinion.
