Dodgers: Dodger Stadium shines lights in honor of George Floyd

There is still no baseball being played in Los Angeles, but Dodger Stadium was lit up in all of its beauty on Wednesday night in honor of George Floyd, a black man who was killed at the hands of white police officers in Minnesota.

The Los Angeles Dodgers joined families across the city in shining their lights for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in recognition of the time a police officer put his knee on the neck of George Floyd, resulting in Mr. Floyd’s death.

A NBC Los Angeles news helicopter started at Chavez Ravine and then toured the city to show people using cell phones, porch lights, and spotlights to participate in the powerful moment.
