Witnessing George Floyd's killing

The death of George Floyd sparked a nation-wide conversation about race, police reform, and social justice, drawing reactions from onlookers and online witnesses alike. While some saw the event as an opportunity for change, others remained unconvinced by proposed solutions. Experts Rev. Frenchye Magee, Professor Zinzi Bailey, and attorney Antonio Romanucci reflect on these varied responses, noting how emotions of anger and frustration among bystanders contrasted with the often vocal online community. They also highlight the role of media and societal context in shaping these reactions, suggesting a divide between spontaneous outrage and measured critique.
