FedEx Fires Employee Who Mocked George Floyd's Death in Front of Trump Yard Signs

(Newsweek) FedEx employee was fired by the company after videos appeared on social media showing him and several other men apparently mocking the death of George Floyd during a protest.

The FedEx employee knelt on the neck of a white man in front of a lumber yard as a Black Lives Matter protest passed by. Referencing Floyd, who died while in police custody, the man yelled at the crowd, "He's dead because he didn't comply." Videos of the counterprotest were posted on various social media platforms, enabling some users to identify the individuals involved in the display. A sign promoting the re-election of President Donald Trump was hung from a truck behind them.
