George Floyd’s 2nd Grade Essay Reveals His Dream Job, Minneapolis Bans Police Neck Restraints

*George Floyd’s second grade teacher Waynel Sexton spoke out on her former student during an interview with CNN. 

Sexton also shared an essay that an 8-year-old George penned as part of a Black History lesson at Frederick Douglass Elementary School in Texas.

The assignment asked students “How will you impact the future? What will you do to make a difference?”

George’s answers?

“When I grow up, I want to be a Supreme Court judge,” he wrote in the essay, which included a colorful drawing, Complex reports. “When people say, ‘Your honor, he did rob the bank, I will say, ‘Be seated.’ And if he doesn’t, I will tell the guard to take him out. Then I will beat my hammer on the desk. Then everybody will be quiet …”

Sexton described Floyd as a “quite” kid and a “good boy.”

“He was a delight to have in the classroom,” she said. 

Floyd was killed on Memorial Day by a former Minneapolis police officer during an arrest over suspicion that he was trying to spend a counterfeit $20 bill at a local store.

A young woman on the scene filmed the incident, showing Floyd handcuffed and on the ground with Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on the back of his neck, and pleading: “Please, I can’t breathe.”

Floyd’s pleas are ignored by the other officers on the scene, and even after he appears to lose consciousness, Chauvin keeps his knee on Floyd’s neck for nearly five minutes.

Chauvin was previously charged with third-degree murder and third-degree manslaughter charges but this has been upgraded to second-degree murder.

Criminal charges have also been filed against the three other cops present at the time of Floyd’s killing. Thomas Lane, 37, Tou Thao, 34, and J. Alexander Kueng, 26, have been charged with aiding and abetting unintentional second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter, per PEOPLE.

“My heart breaks for his family,” Sexton said. “How could we have know that the little boy, the little 8-year-old who drew this precious, delightful picture about justice and wanting to be justice, 38 years later his life would be taken. Sadly, I’m sure this isn’t the way he envisioned being famous or bringing justice.”

In related news, Minneapolis city officials have banned police chokeholds and neck restraints wake of Floyd’s death, per New York Daily News. Bystanding officers are also required to intervene when potentially deadly tactics are used on suspects.
