Demonstrations have swept the United States since the May 25 killing of African American George Floyd while in police custody, with calls growing for police reform and the broader removal of symbols of a racist legacy, including monuments to the slave-holding Confederacy.

自从5月25日非洲裔美国人乔治·弗洛伊德在被警察拘留期间死亡以来，示威活动席卷了美国，要求警务改革的呼声越来越高，废除种族主义遗产标志的呼声也越来越大，其中包括拆除象征蓄奴制的南部邦联纪念碑。

Floyd died last month as a white Minneapolis officer pressed a knee into his neck for almost nine minutes. The officer has been charged with second-degree murder.

上个月，明尼阿波利斯的一名白人警察用膝盖抵住弗洛伊德的脖子将近九分钟，导致弗洛伊德死亡。这名警官被控二级谋杀。
