'''George Floyd''' was a black man who was killed by [[police]] in [[2020]]. A video of his death showed him pleading to breathe and for his mother. This video spread on [[social media]] and, despite the [[COVID-19]] lockdown, it sparked [[protest]]s in the [[United States of America|United States]] and the [[United Kingdom]]; this included people tearing down statues, including one of [[Edward Colston]] in [[Bristol]].
I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale The cops arrested me for a reason Still no luck, but oh, well I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail knee on my neck like a anvil knee got me itching like a anthill Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill Sometimes I don't know how to feel Ring-ring, phone call from the cops You used my past and my skin color as a weapon On the other line, I talk to addiction, huh Speaking of the overdose, all the drugs, I miss them This can't be real, is it fiction? My neck' feels broke, need to fix it I cry out for help, they listened? the protest will end until it's finished This is the part where I tell you I can't breathe, but I'm lyin' I just want you to worry about me This is the part where I take all my drugs and hide 'em Cause I don't want the cops to hurt me I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale The cops arrested me for a reason Still no luck, but oh, well I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail knee on my neck like a anvil knee got me itching like a anthill Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill Sometimes I don't know how to feel Sometimes I don't know how to feel Let's be for real if it was for my skin color I wouldn't be here But if i keep taking the drugs i won't be here, yeah I just told y'all my secret, yeah It's tearing me to pieces I really think I need them I stopped taking the drugs and now the drugs take me This is the part where I tell you I can't breathe, but I'm lyin' I just want you to worry about me This is the part where I take all my drugs and hide 'em Cause I don't want the cops to hurt me I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale The cops arrested me for a reason Still no luck, but oh, well I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail knee on my neck like a anvil knee got me itching like a anthill Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill Sometimes I don't know how to feel


[[Lucy Wilson]]'s parents didn't want her to watch the video, but she felt it was an important thing to see. It drove her to tears and it changed her outlook on [[racism]]. Lucy made a [[Black Lives Matter]] poster and attended a peaceful protest in [[Ogmore-by-Sea]] with [[Hobo Kostinen]]. [[Megan Kostinen|Hobo's mother]] told him to stay away from the protests due to the presence of dangerous elements. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[8.46 (short story)|8.46]]'')

During her return to [[St Luke's University]] in Bristol, [[Bill Potts]] also attended a march while social distancing, saying "not all [[Cybermen]] have got [[Side handle|handles]] on their [[Cyber-helmet|heads]]" to explain what had happened to [[Nardole]].
