People placed on a live view to a kill.

The pandemia was supposed to be the main plot for Year 2020 AD. Yet, on 25 May and about weeks thereafter, the attention was panned to a disturbing brutal killing of a gentle giant by the name of George Floyd. If we turn back the tides of time, we would admit to being shocked at the blatant and totally inhuman act of curtailing a life by a police officer of a man who made no resistance. The trial of the accused has began. I watched and listened to the minute details of the narratives of the passers-by who were called to court to stand witness. That is the most fascinating thing, I realized, because the supposedly ordinary people going about their ordinary lives were placed right there so they could give an accurate and credible account of what happened. Two minors were on their way to the convenient store for a cellphone cord. As I always contend, Gen Zee is dependable when it comes to documenting events. They are quick with the cellphone and are not afraid to record anything. Subsequently, we, the rest of the world, also have become witnesses to the kill. Do we believe minors? Of course. There was even a child who was only there for snacks. At 9 years turning 10, her memory was vivid. Her character? Ain't questionable. Yet, to affirm the testimony true, that the event was a cold blood kill, among those shouting at the officers were a Martial Arts afficionado and an off-duty female firefighter. The first attested to the blood choke, or what he calls the shimmy move, that the officer subjected the unresisting George Floyd. The second offered her services to resuscitate the immobile victim, adamant that the weight of the officers on an unresponsive Floyd was uncalled for. Both affirmed that what transpired right before their very eyes was a "kill." Still the most agonizing statement came from the teen-age girl who said she has been 'apologizing to George Floyd ever since because she was not able to do more for him.'
