George Floyd was to be detained, and the police officer pinned him down, followed by keeping his knee on George’s neck. Even after telling the police officer that he can’t breathe, the officer refused to pull back his knee, and the black man died due to breathlessness. The video footage of this whole scene got viral, and many people, along with some public figures, came on the streets demanding justice for George. However, the protest turned into a movement, which is against racialism and injustice and equality faced by Black people.
Matthew Perry is well known for his role in American Television Series, FRIENDS, as Chandler Bing. Matthew recently shared a post on his Instagram account, which clearly showed his support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
