Police brutality has been a major social issue in the United States, and the media has been a significant driver to exposing or attempting to curb the vice. Journalists have been at the forefront of exposing societal violence, especially against minority groups. Over the years, African Americans have complained of discrimination and harassment, which has spanned centuries. As a result, the history of slavery complicates any case of brutality against people of color. The death of George Floyd virally caught journalist attention never experienced before. The media coverage of the end of George Floyd exposed the prevalence of police brutality against a colored population that led to nationwide protests. The death of Floyd shocked the world because the police killed him. The victim was a 46-year-old African American man who passed on while being forcefully arrested for allegedly using a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Officer Derek Chauvin placed his knee on his neck for close to ten minutes, hindering his breathing leading to his death. The medical examiner report said the victim’s heart ceased functioning because of neck constriction (Watson et al., 2020). The incident was an explicit use of excessive force on a subdued suspect. The media covered this story widely and played the video, caught by bystanders and surveillance cameras, to the public. Over two million media outlets worldwide, such as journals, news stations, radio stations, and podcasts, covered Floyd’s killing. The news spread over the world, soliciting anger, sorrow, and pain. Protests surged all over the country due to the emotional, cognitive, physiological, and attitudinal effects of the graphical images portrayed in the media (Emmerich, 2020). The video from Floyd’s forceful arrest broadened American’s view of police brutality and racism. The event forced the conversation of historical racial injustices against the African American community in America. The protests escalated, and the population formed movements to show support to Floyd’s family and the people of color. The public’s solidarity with Floyd’s family and the consequent conversations revealed to the oblivious population the high number of police brutality cases against the colored community. Floyd was not the first African American to be murdered by police under unclear circumstances. In 2019, at least 1127 people died in police officers’ hands (Fagan & Campbell, 2020). Protests across the country escalated to movements such as the ‘Black Lives Matter,’ which condemned such acts. People of different races, occupations, and sexual orientations volunteered to protest in a surprising but effective way (McCoy, 2020). Though lawful, the peaceful protests escalated to boisterous demonstrations. The protests and movements were not only in the United States but in other countries as well. Most local administrations began rethinking the role of the police and the interaction they have with the citizens. Floyd’s death did influence not only the American people but also the world on police’s ability to harm. The victim’s death got international media attention and solicited emotions. Many nations view America as the beacon of democracy and freedom. The news of the killing went against the county’s famous phrase, “The Land of The F
