Eight minutes 46 seconds (8:46) is a symbol of police brutality that is associated with the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. He died after officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck. The duration of the incident was reported for weeks as 8:46, and later as 7:46, until body camera footage released in August 2020 showed that the actual time was 9:29. In the days following his death, and the protests that followed, the 8:46 time span became a focus of commemorations and debates, especially around Blackout Tuesday.
