Editor's note: Protests have erupted across US cities and beyond over the death of African American George Floyd, who died after pleading for air as a white Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for over eight minutes on May 25. Over 40 cities have imposed curfews and the National Guard was called upon to maintain order, when protests took a violent turn. China Daily readers share their opinions.

It would only take a simple word of apology and government rectification to the police force to bring about immediate peace, but even a simple five minute speech like this may seem impossible for the arrogant and tyrannical US government. It may well be that America is due for another civil war to properly settle the racism and slavery crimes that have been overdue for so many decades.
