A group Minneapolis police officers condemn the former officer charged with killing George Floyd in an open letter. 'Derek Chauvin failed as a human and stripped George Floyd of his dignity and life. This is not who we are.”
More than a dozen Minneapolis police officers who say they represent hundreds of others condemned the former officer charged in the killing of George Floyd. And they expressed support for policing reforms in an open letter released Thursday that is addressed to"Dear Everyone — but especially Minneapolis citizens."said at the outset, and it went on to denounce the now-fired officer's actions.
Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Floyd, 46, who died while in police custody May 25. Video filmed by bystanders shows Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck for nearly 9 minutes as he cries for help and says that he can't breathe. Three other officers who were on the scene were charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder. The killing has sparked mass protests against police brutality and racial inequality in Minnesota and around the world.
"We are leaders, formal and informal, and from all ranks within the Minneapolis Police Department. We're not the union or the administration," the letter continued, adding that they represent the voices of hundreds of other officers.
