On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill. Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down, begging for his life and repeatedly saying "I can't breathe".

 

2020년 5월 25일, 46세의 흑인 남성 조지 플로이드는 미네소타주 미니애폴리스에서 위조지폐 사용 혐의로 체포되던 중  사망하였다. 백인 경찰관인 데릭 쇼빈은 수갑을 찬 채 엎드려 "숨을 쉴 수 없다"며 살려달라고 애원하는 플로이드의 목을 약 9분 동안 무릎으로 눌렀다.

 

The following day, after videos made by witnesses and security cameras became public, all four officers were fired. Two autopsies found Floyd's death to be a homicide. Chauvin was initially charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, to which was later added second-degree murder; the three other officers were charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder.

 

다음날, 목격자들에 의해 촬영된 비디오와 CCTV가 일반에 공개된 후, 네 명의 경찰관은 해고됐다. 두 번의 부검 결과 플로이드의 사망은 살인사건으로 판명되었다. 쇼빈은 초기에 3급 살인과 2급 과실치사로 기소되었고, 후에 2급 살인이 추가되었다. 그리고 다른 세 경찰관은 2급 살인 방조죄로 기소되었다.

 

Floyd's death triggered demonstrations and protests in over 2,000 U.S. cities and around the world against police brutality, police racism, and lack of police accountability.

 

플로이드의 죽음은 2,000개가 넘는 미국 도시와 전 세계에서 경찰 살인, 경찰 인종차별, 경찰 책임 부족 등에 대한 시위를 촉발했다.

 

 

 

Point of Discussion(주요 논점)

Q. Are the police officials actions wrong?

M. Yes, their behaviors are obiously terrible.

m. I totally agree with that, but we need to consider that some behaviors seem like being excessive are only police officials' means of self-defense in US.

 

질문. 데릭 쇼빈 등 경찰관의 행동은 잘못되었나?

다수의견. 그들의 행동은 명백히 잘못되었다.

소수의견. 나도 그들의 행동이 잘못되었다는 것에 동의한다. 그러나 미국 경찰관의 과격한 듯 보이는 행동이 그들의 유일한 자기방어 수단이라는 점도 고려해야 할 필요가 있다.

 

Q. How do we judge protestors' violence?

M. Violence can't be a way to solve racism. It is just an anger-out and even dameges original values of the movement.

m. We might think to express their anger is important in many ways, too.

 

질문. 시위자들의 폭력을 우리는 어떻게 평가해야 하는가?

다수의견. 폭력은 인종차별을 해결할 방법이 될 수 없다. 이것은 분노 표출에 불과하며, 심지어는 이 인종차별 반대 운동의 진정한 가치를 훼손한다.

소수의견. 분노를 표출하는 것도 여러 면에서 중요하다고 볼 수 있다.

 

Q. 'Black Lives Matter' or 'All Lives Matter', which one is better?

A1. Black is a symbol of minority especially in racism. So Black can easily represent all of minorities, Black, Hispanic, Asian, and so on.

A2. Discrimination against minority by another minority is a big problem, too. Sometimes, we used to see some Black or Hispanic are likely to do discriminatory gesture against Asian, and vice versa. Therefore, to change the slogan to 'All Lives Matter' can be a effective strategy.

 

질문. 'Black Lives Matter' or 'All Lives Matter' 중 어떤 것이 나은가?

의견1. 'black'은 인종차별에 있어 소수자에 대한 상징이다. 그러므로 'black'은 흑인, 히스패닉, 동양인 등 소수자를 쉽게 대변할 수 있다.

의견2. 소수자에 의한 차별도 중요한 문제이다. 때때로 우리는 흑인 또는 히스패닉 사람들이 인종차별적인 제스처를 취하는 것을 목격할 수 있고, 반대로 동양인이 흑인 또는 히스패닉 사람들을 차별하는 모습도 볼 수 있다. 그러므로 '모든 삶이 중요하다'라는 슬로건은 효과적인 전략이 될 수 있다.
