Biden suggested cell phone videos have dramatically impacted long-held beliefs related to accusations of police brutality.
Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, said Thursday afternoon that the death of George Floyd in police custody is having a more significant worldwide impact than even the 1968 assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In the 17 days since George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died in police custody after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on Floyd’s neck for almost nine minutes, protests and rallies have been held in countless countries around the globe. Germany, the UK, France, Mexico, Australia, Israel, Australia, south-east Asia and parts of Africa are just some of the locations that densely populated demonstrations have taken place.
