Solidarity with Georg Floyd uprising in USA from Dresden, Germany

George Floyd was killed by the US state on 25th May. He was killed by the state that gives racists cops every single day their badges and guns to go and harass people on the streets. When nobody tried to save George it was not the only the fear of an individual cop that was preventing actions. It was fear of state repressions against those who question the authority. And even if the murder cop is prosecuted and send to jail the state will still be responsible for this action. There will still be police violence. There will still be racism supported by the state institutions.

With this small action we show our solidarity with people demonstrating and fighting on the streets of US cities this days for their freedom.

Justice for George Floyd and every victim of the state violence!
