Minneapolis police chief on firing officers: "In my mind this was a violation of humanity"Medaria Arradondo told CNN he fired the four officers involved in the death of George Floyd because their actions were"a violation of humanity."
"In my mind, this was a violation of humanity. This was a violation of the oath that the majority of the men and women that put this uniform on, this goes absolutely against it. This is contrary to what we believe in ... Again what occurred to me, it was an absolute truth it was wrong. Period," the chief said."I would say to the Floyd family that I am absolutely devastatingly sorry for their loss. If I could do anything to bring Mr. Floyd back, I would do that.
