Abderrahim Fakir, a 42-year-old Moroccan legal resident of Italy with asthma and heart conditions, died on Sunday in Bologna's Pilastro neighborhood after police responded to a report of vehicle damage, deployed pepper spray, and restrained him. Video footage shows Fakir calling for help and struggling to breathe before he stopped moving. A demonstration followed on Monday with clashes between protesters and police, and some outlets compared the incident to the death of George Floyd.
