As a result of theBlack Lives Matterprotests sparked by the killing ofGeorge Floydlast month, streams forN.W.A.s 1988 hip-hop anthem F**k tha Policehave nearly quadrupled in overall numbers.

The anti-racial profiling, anti-police brutality track saw a whopping 272 per cent increase in on-demand audio streams between May 27 and June 1, in comparison to the week before Floyds death, according to a report from Alpha Data.

On top of that, statistics obtained byRolling Stone show that other protest songs, including Childish Gambinos This Is America, Kendrick Lamars Alright and YGs FDT, saw a sharp increase in numbers as well.

In only a two-day span (May 31-June 1), F**k tha Police amassed just over 765,000 streams which is reportedly five times more than it received the previous Sunday and Monday combined.

F**k thaPolices last resurgence occurred in 2015, a year after the killing ofMichael Brown an unarmed Black teenager in Ferguson, Mo., according to the data.

Brown was shot to death by a white police officer, Darren Wilson, on Aug. 9, 2014. He was 18.

The killing triggered protests against systemic racism and police brutality all across the U.S.

Floyd, a Black man, was killed on May 25 after a white police officer kneeled on his neck for nine minutes during an arrest in Minneapolis.

An autopsy commissioned by Floyds family has since found that his death wascaused by asphyxiation. The familys autopsy differs from the official autopsy listed in the criminal complaint against the officer, which found that Floyds death was caused by cardiac arrest.

All four officers involved in Floyds death have been fired.

Derek Chauvin, the officer filmed kneeling on Floyds neck, was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter last week.

On Wednesday, it was announced that Chauvin is facing a new second-degree murder and the other three officers have been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.
