The mayor of Minneapolis says four Minneapolis Police Department officers involved in the death of a black man in police custody have been terminated.
A 10-minute video widely circulated on social media and referenced by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey shows a police officer using his knee to pin the man's neck to the ground for multiple minutes.
Frey and Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo noted at the news conference that the officers involved were wearing body cameras.
"We are incensed that nearly six years after Eric Garner uttered 'I can't breathe' as he was killed by the New York Police Department, police officers still don't seem to have learned to listen to a person's call for help," Amnesty's Kristina Roth said in a release.
Nearly four years ago, another police department in the area faced criticism for an incident in which an officer killed black motorist Philando Castile.
