The recent killing of George Floyd by now-fired policeman Derek Chauvin has sparked intense national outrage. Protests have erupted across the country, with civil unrest growing in Minneapolis.
Celebrities have been utilizing their social media platforms to share their emotional responses. They're raising awareness, demanding change, and calling for action.
5. Lady Gaga:
My heart breaks for George Floyd, his family and for the people in Minneapolis. Murder is murder. Cops are also citizens, the same rules should apply to them. This is absolutely horrific and if the mayor and DA do not step up it sets a poor example for this entire country.

11. Ava DuVernay:
You deserved your breath, your dignity, your life. Not to die in the street, murdered by a white cop’s knee on your neck. You deserve our tears, our prayers, our rage, our action. We must act - for you - and for all of those were no cameras are present. We must. #GeorgeFloyd

This just burns. Seems to be a never ending cycle. The murderers need to be charged severely. Even in the face of death this man was given zero empathy. #RIPGeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
