According to US media, Biden signed the executive order on the second anniversary of the death of Floyd, an African-American man.
At that time, Floyd was "kneeled and pressed" by the white police officer Chauvin for more than 9 minutes, during which Floyd repeatedly said that he "couldn't breathe", and finally fell into a coma and lost signs of life.
Floyd's "kneeling killing" sparked large-scale and sustained demonstrations in the United States to protest against police brutality and racial discrimination against African Americans.
The four police officers involved were fired, Xiao Wan was convicted of second-degree murder and other charges and sentenced to 22 years and 6 months in prison. The remaining three were also convicted of civil rights violations.
