On the fourth anniversary of George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis by Derek Chauvin, numerous public figures and organizations are calling for the passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2024. This legislation aims to address systemic injustices in policing, including limiting qualified immunity for officers, preventing racial profiling, and increasing accountability and transparency within law enforcement. Floyd's death, which occurred on May 25, 2020, after 8 minutes and 46 seconds under Chauvin's knee, sparked a global movement against police brutality and systemic racism. His family and supporters continue to advocate for meaningful reforms to prevent further unnecessary deaths and ensure equal justice under the law. The Act has been reintroduced in Congress, with many lawmakers expressing their support and emphasizing the need for structural changes in policing practices.
