Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was seen kneeling on Floyd’s neck for about nine minutes in cell phone video on Monday.
He was fired by the police department, along with three other officers seen in the video standing near Floyd.
Jenerette and Baldwin, who work with the group Grand Strand Action Together, say white people can do more than only be upset after an incident like George’s killing.
While it is impossible to know everything about this incident to make a final judgment at this time, from what I have seen so far, it is hard to come to any other conclusion but that the actions of at least one officer was not justified and probably lead to the death of George Floyd.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Officers’ Association also condemned the four Minneapolis officers’ actions, in a statement released before Chauvin’s arrest Friday.
