President Joe Biden marked the second anniversary of Mr Floyd’s death with an executive order focused on police reform on 25 May 2022. Video shows Mr Chauvin kneeling on Mr Floyd’s neck for more than 8 minutes, as he pleads over and over again that he can’t breathe, echoing the “I can’t breathe!” plea from Eric Garner – who was killed by New York police officers in 2014 – that became a rallying cry at Black Lives Matter protests. Friends and family described Mr Floyd, a former high school sports star known by nicknames like Big Floyd and Big Friendly, as an amiable, gentle man, despite his imposing, 6’7” build. Mr Floyd’s death helped inspire massive protests across the country and the world, as demonstrators tired of police killings took to the streets.
