“When I saw the video of George Floyd being murdered, I had to stop the footage,” he wrote. “It took me straight back to when I first saw the video of my uncle’s death.

“Both men died from ‘positional asphyxia’. This happens when police or prison officers restrain someone face down with too much pressure. Both men were continuously saying ‘I can’t breathe’ and begging for their lives. Both men had multiple officers restraining them, pushing them into the ground and ignoring their cries for help, until they took their last breath.”
