Minneapolis: Black Man Murdered by Police as He Cries Out “I Can’t Breathe”
| revcom.us
On Monday, May 25, George Floyd was stopped by police in Minneapolis, supposedly for a “forgery in progress.” In a video taken by a bystander, one of the pigs is seen with a knee on the neck of the handcuffed Black man on the ground. Floyd repeatedly says “I can’t breathe” and “Don’t kill me.” After a few minutes, he stops moving. Another Black person murdered by police.
What kind of a system makes the accusation of forgery a crime deserving of death? How long will Black people be the constant victims of police abuse, terror and outright coldblooded murder? And when will we put an end to this system that has caused these outrages and more for over 400 years?!?!

Together, WE passed $40,000 in revcom's Winter fundraising campaign to “Transform Revcom.us’ Web Technology and Presence”!
Reaching this goal is a real achievement and a victory for the people of the world, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people working creatively and collectively to meet this pressing need: those who donated whether large or small contributions, who fundraised, who spread the campaign, who sent statements, who raised comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions – and of course those who worked so hard on modernizing and upgrading our web technology and presence. It all made a difference!
The Ongoing Need for Sustainers
During this four month fund drive, Revcom.us continued to incur thousands of dollars of costs each month for our office, maintaining our existing site and other expenses. But thanks to our existing monthly sustainers we were able to meet these expenses and use all the funds raised in the drive to transform the website.
So we encourage all our donors and those who’ve not yet donated to become monthly sustainers at whatever level you can afford.
Remember, humanity’s fate truly hinges on millions taking up the revolutionary science, strategy, and new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian which they can find at revcom.us.
You’ve read this article and now you need to be part of making sure revcom.us is able to make an urgently needed leap and transformation.
