MINNEAPOLIS-POLICE/MEMORIAL

George Floyd, 46, will be laid to rest in a private service in Houston today, 15 days after he was killed when a white police officer pressed a knee on his neck. Floyd's death at the hands of police has sparked international protests and drawn new attention to the treatment of African Americans in the U.S. by police and the criminal justice system.
