THE DEATH OF THE US AMERICAN GEORGE FLOYD AT THE HANDS OF A POLICEMAN DROVE THE PEOPLE WORLDWIDE ONTO THE STREETS, ALSO IN MUNICH ON 6 JUNE 2020. HOWEVER, THE PLANNED SMALL AND QUIET PROTEST WITH 200 REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS TURNED INTO A LARGE DEMONSTRATION WITH MORE THAN 50.000 PEOPLE. ON KÖNIGSPLATZ THEY KNELT AND REMAINED SILENT FOR EIGHT MINUTES AND 46 SECONDS - EXACTLY AS LONG AS THE POLICEMAN IN MINNEAPOLIS PRESSED HIS KNEE INTO THE NECK OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN GEORGE FLOYD AT THE END OF MAY 2020 UNTIL HE SUFFOCATED. »8:46« HAS SINCE BECOME SYNONYMOUS WITH POLICE VIOLENCE WORLDWIDE. · KÖNIGSPLATZ MUNICH · JUNE 6TH, 2020
