Thursday’s demonstrations were some of the worst unrest in the Twin City since the protest movement began days after a video that showed a Minneapolis police officer named Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd’s neck as he yelled, “I can’t breathe.”
That’s the same thing we’ve been calling for in Los Angeles in our weekly protest of Jackie Lacey who during her tenure as District Attorney has seen more than 600 civilians killed by police, and not a single officer has been prosecuted.
Floyd was pronounced dead at Hennepin County Medical Center some 90 minutes after his encounter with Minneapolis police officers.
“It was unfortunate Mr Floyd died but it is almost certain that he will not be the last, and regrettably it’s going to take more public displays of poor police training, and jurors awarding significant damages to compensate the families to bring about reform.”
Dorsey, the retired LAPD sergeant said there’s nothing different between the two deadly encounters with police officers other than in the video footage of Floyd showed him taking his last breath.
