Minneapolis police appeared to use pepper spray on a group of demonstrators Tuesday protesting the death of George Floyd, a black man who died while being arrested Monday.
In a video posted to social media, an officer can be seen placing his knee on Floyd's neck as Floyd repeatedly informed the police on the scene that he could not breathe. An ambulance arrived and took Floyd to a local medical facility, where he was pronounced dead. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey apologized to Floyd's family and the black community, saying Tuesday that"being black in America should not be a death sentence."
"When you hear someone calling for help," Frey said,"you're supposed to help. This officer failed in the most basic, human sense."by the Minneapolis Police Department, a move Mayor Frey called"the right call." Thousands of protesters converged upon the scene of Floyd's death, some carrying signs reading"I can't breathe," the words Floyd was heard to say as officers detained him Monday.
So armed militia wannabes at a state capitol are peaceful protestors flexing their liberty, but these protesters needed tear gassing? Really?
Maybe the police should’ve done the right thing, enforced the law, and arrested the murder and his accomplices first, and possibly this wouldn’t’ve happened.
Cause, you know, not enough black citizens have been assaulted
ProtectFreedom Everyone knows that if you want to protest without interference you simply take guns to the gallery of your state capital.
