After more than a week of violent protests, fires in cities, cars and destroyed businesses, the family of the deceased has asked people to give up.
George's own brother, Floyd, has urged protesters to refrain from violence, as George himself would not want to see the country in this state.
Although the victim?s family like most people were in support of anti-racism protests, they are now condemning the violence and chaos caused.
On the same day that his brother, Terrance Floyd, appealed for peace, Trump responded aggressively to the demonstrators, threatening that the US military would land in the country to confront them.
After the autopsy, it turned out that Floyd died as a result of asphyxiation caused by the pressure exerted on him. The policeman's knee, placed on his neck for more than 8 minutes, blocked his breathing, leading to his death.
