The May 29 Morning Sentinel understated the horror of George Floyd’s death. The article headlined, “Violent protest rock city – Anger after black man dies in police custody,” and the first sentence: “Violent protests over the death of a black man in police custody rocked Minneapolis neighborhood …”

It does not state that he was murdered by the officer. There wouldn’t be protests if he just spontaneously died.
