The rapper also made a $2 million donation for the families of Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery.
Arbery, who was killed by two white civilians in Georgia while jogging, and Taylor, who was shot in her Louisville home by police, were killed earlier this year, before Floyd's killing by a white Minneapolis police officer helped catalyze outrage around their deaths, and those of the many other black individuals killed by police, into a wave of protest. Derek Chauvin, the officer who pressed his knee on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes, has been charged with second-degree murder.
Meanwhile, Arbery's killers were charged with felony murder and aggravated assault in May, more than two months after Arbery's death. The FBI has opened an investigation into Taylor's death, and her family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit. None of the officers involved have been charged with a crime.
