Beyoncé is asking her legions of fans to take action after the death of George Floyd.

The Grammy-winning artist is one of several celebrities using their social media platforms to demand change in the wake of Floyd's death in Minneapolis last week.

In a video, she says they are broken and are disgusted.

Floyd was arrested by Minneapolis police on Monday and died while being restrained by officers.

Video footage of the arrest showed officers restraining Floyd on the ground with one officer, Derek Chauvin, with his knee on Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in total.

Chauvin has been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter and was fired by the department along with three other officers.
