The girlfriend of George Floyd fears that President Donald Trump will one day pardon the police officer who killed him in a brutal act of police brutality that sparked widespread protests.
Sunday is the fifth anniversary of the murder of Floyd by cop Derek Chauvin who knelt on his neck for nine minutes.
Courtney Ross, who continues to mourn the loss of boyfriend Floyd, has voiced her concerns over the growing influence of the far-right in America and fears that the resurgence in the movement may sway Trump to pardon him.
This is because the president is under growing pressure from his far-right allies who see Chauvin as a political martyr who was 'wrongfully convicted,' rather than a killer, she says.
Speaking to The Mirror, Ross said : 'Every time it comes up, he either says he's not considering it, or he brushes it off like it's not important,' she says.
