On Memorial Day, a grocery store employee from Cup Foods accused Floyd of buying cigarettes with a counterfeit $20 bill and dialed 911.
Officers arrested Floyd nearby, pinned him to the ground, and one pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes.
Nearly two weeks after his death, Mahmoud Abumayyaleh, the owner of Cup Foods, revealed in a Facebook post that he would no longer involve police officers in nonviolent offenses.
Many people resonated with Williams’ experience, expressing the idea that Floyd’s death could have been avoided if the employee had never called the 💯 all he had to do was not accept the $20 if he felt it was counterfeit end of story and that man would still be here I’ve witnessed this many of times.
Derek Chauvin, the officer responsible for holding his knee on Floyd’s neck, was previously charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

It was a great honor for an auxiliary of the AME Church in Zambia to have an opportunity to be part and parcel of the fight and campaign against the world pandemic of COVID-19 that has now engulfed the entire global village.
It is in this regard that on the morning of 25 May 2020, the 17th Episcopal District Lay Organization in Zambia—led by the Episcopal Lay President Brother Caesar Kalenga—donated 100 5KG packs of cleaning chemical which is ideal for disinfecting contaminated surfaces in the environment.
On the afternoon of the same day, the Episcopal Lay Organization went on to make another remarkable donation of assorted disinfectants, water buckets, and hand water pumps to Kanyama First Level Hospital in one of the townships in Lusaka, Zambia’s capital city.
On his official address to the Health Minister and other guests was aired on national and private TV stations, President Kalenga said that the Church is not only there to preach the Good News and offer prayers but also to put faith into action by providing the needs of society.
President Kalenga thanked the Women Missionary Society, Sons of Allen, Young People’s Division, and individuals who made contributions toward the effort.

Both sides emerged from the meeting trading blame for the sputtering talks -- and the administration officials warned that President Donald Trump would take executive action if no deal is reached by Friday.
It's unclear if the two sides will meet on Friday.
\"We had a consequential meeting that was one way we could see the difference in values that we bring to the table,\" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.
Pelosi said that White House chief of staff Mark Meadows slammed his hand on the table, something that Meadows denied.
\"I don't know what she's talking about,\" he said.
The differences remain as they have been: Democrats want to do \"something big,\" in the words of Pelosi, and the Trump administration wants a \"skinny bill,\" in the words of Meadows, on the issues they agree on. One of the biggest sticking points: aid to state and local governments.
\"We are very far apart -- it's most unfortunate,\" Pelosi said.
\"We are very disappointed in the meeting. ... They were unwilling to meet in the middle,\" Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Meadows indicated they are \"very far apart\" from the Democrats on some major issues.
\"I think there's a lot of issues we are close to a compromise position on, and I think there's a handful of very big issues that we are still very far apart,\" Mnuchin said.
Trump called the two officials three times during the meeting and urged them to continuing negotiating, Meadows said.
Mnuchin said that if \"they could conclude tomorrow without a deal,\" Trump will take executive action.
Earlier in the day, Pelosi rejected the possibility of a short-term extension of federal jobless benefits during her news conference, taking a hard line in demanding that Congress approve a large-scale stimulus package that the White House has so far rejected.
\"We're not having a short-term extension,\" Pelosi said when asked if Democrats are ruling out an interim extension of the lapsed federal unemployment enhancement if talks collapse, a signal that restoring the benefit will be contingent on the White House and Democrats cutting a broader deal, which so far remains elusive with White House chief of staff Mark Meadows saying recently that the two sides are \"trillions of dollars apart.\"
As he entered Pelosi's office Thursday evening, Meadows said, \"If we don't reach a top-line number, there becomes very little incentive to have further conversations. At this point, they are still at $3.4 trillion and going north and so at some point, compromise has to have a dollar sign in front of it.\"
Meadows wouldn't say what the White House's top-line number is currently, but said, \"We are north of where our initial offer was,\" which was $1 trillion.
He added that he has a \"glimmer of hope\" a deal can still be reached.
Earlier on Thursday, Pelosi indicated no willingness to back off the demand for restoring enhanced unemployment benefits to the level of $600 a week. \"We have said that

Despite an agreement arrived at on Wednesday by government officials from Kenya and Uganda on the process of Covid-19 testing for truckers at the common border, an association for Kenyan truck drivers on Thursday advised its members to suspend services until both governments address stigma and harassment.

Mr Kitungu and his East African Community counterpart Kevit Desai led a delegation of Kenyan officials to the meeting with the Uganda delegation on Tuesday.
\"We also met with Kenya's ambassador to Uganda, Kiema Kilonzo, among other officials, and we have now sorted out the issue,\" said Mr Kitungu on Wednesday.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The first astronauts launched by SpaceX declared victory Monday in NASA’s cosmic capture-the-flag game.
They quickly claimed the prize left behind at the International Space Station nearly a decade ago by the last crew to launch from the U.S.
“Congratulations, SpaceX, you got the flag,” NASA astronaut Doug Hurley said a day after arriving at the space station.
The flag was an added incentive for Elon Musk’s SpaceX company and Boeing, competing to be the first private company to launch a crew to the space station.
An estimated 100,000 people — suppliers, vendors, engineers, etc. — were responsible for Saturday’s flawless launch of test pilots Hurley and Behnken aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center.
The Dragon capsule, also built and owned by SpaceX, docked at the space station Sunday.
