Missouri College Students Mock Floyd Death

Two incoming Missouri college students who participated in a video that appeared to mock the killing of George Floyd have withdrawn.

The students were supposed to attend the University of Missouri and Missouri State University in the fall before taking part in a video on social media in which they appear to be simulating the choking of one another.

One student is heard saying “I can’t breathe.” The University of Missouri, which was rocked by racial protests in 2015, promptly began a civil rights investigation, leading one of the students to rescind her enrollment.
