"I can't breath"- this are the most powerful words currently in United States. At the moment office Derek put his knee on George Floyd's neck, he wouldn't execpect to create one of the most miseable tragedy in American history. Since May 25, when George Floyd passed, there was a huge wave of protist in American society. Thousands of people are taking both peaceful and violent actions to send their voice towards mis-used power among the society. They not only express their anger on socail media, but march on the street to show how they feeled. Although what happen to Floyd triggered the whole thing, the protist now has already went beyond that. People wants to fight against the power which are used to loot them. They wants to fight for their basic rights as human beings. According to "Daily Show" host Trevor Noah, society is a form of contract. When people choose to obey the contract representing by following all the rules and laws, they are expecting the maker and the enforcer of these laws also follow it. However, what happen on May 25th is an absolute example about how some of the offical break the contract. Along with the development of the protist, it is possible there will be other violent events, maybe there is other people who will be harmed. From an objective point, this protist may not end up with a satisfying result, but I bilieve it will continue for a long time as the desire of most American towards equal and human rights will not be vanished quickly.
In the end, I think protists may not be the best way to conmmunicate with the goveronment if they will lead to harm or even death, but as long as the spirit of fighting for justice is still inside people's heart, everything can be done to accomplish this ultimate goal.
