This still image taken from a May 25, 2020, video courtesy of Darnella Frazier via Facebook, shows a Minneapolis, Minnesota, police officer arresting George Floyd.
The family of George Floyd, a black man who died while a police officer pinned his neck with a knee, wants the four Minneapolis police officers involved charged with murder.“They were supposed to be there to serve and to protect and I didn’t see a single one of them lift a finger to do anything to help while he was begging for his life. Not one of them tried to do anything to help him,” said Tera Brown, Floyd’s cousin.
“Knowing my brother is to love my brother. They could have tased him; they could have maced him. Instead, they put their knee in his neck and just sat on him and then carried on.The four officers were sacked on Tuesday after a video of the incident surfaced online. In the video filmed by a bystander, a shirtless Floyd – thought to be in his 40s – is pinned on the ground by a white officer who kneels on his neck for more than five minutes.Floyd slowly grew silent and motionless, unable to move even as the officers taunted him to “get up and get in the car.”After firing the four officers involved, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey expressed outrage as calls rose for them to be prosecuted for murder.
