He Packed up the Unknown on his shoulders and in the direction of police was marched, surrounded by other Mitdemonstranten and friends who had tried to protect the man from further attacks, so Hutchinson. The role of the Hero he wants to claim, therefore, also not for himself alone. “I was simply the one on whom the cameras were focused,” said Hutchinson. “It was a team work. Without all of those who had tried to protect us, I would probably have been trampled too.”
“thought the three police officials to intervene, would be George Floyd still alive today.”
He didn’t do it per se for the Unknown, Hutchinson. “I’ve done it, especially for the young men and women of the “Black Lives Matter”protests. I didn’t want their names would be tarnished by such an incident.”
in Addition to the prevention of negative headlines, the Intervention has, however, also a symbolic character for Hutchinson. “If the other three the police would have thought of that officers standing around at the time of the murder of George Floyd, about to intervene, and to your colleagues to stop, as we did, that would be George Floyd still alive today.”
George Floyd was on 25. May in Minneapolis in the U.S. state of deceased Minnesota after an arrest by a white police officer. The case is caused because of the Video captured the brutal procedure of the police officers ‘ fierce criticism of the police, and triggered far beyond the U.S. border, in addition to Anti-racism protests.
In the social networks and in a number of media, the image of Hutchinson’s circulated since then, with the weakened against the demonstrators on the shoulder. “A national hero – so humanity looks like,” tweeted the British Labour politician Claudia Webbe. David Lammy, the Labour party in Tottenham, wrote: “It is easy to focus on the worst instincts of human behavior. But it is important that we also have the Best celebrations.”
