Minnesota (May 28, 2020) Four policemen were charged in connection with the murder of a black man in the US state of Minnesota. The police officer put George Floyd's hand behind his back and pressed him to the ground with his face down, kneeling on his neck and killing him. According to the details, a tragic incident took place in the American city of Minneapolis on Monday in which a black American was killed by a police officer.
Action has been taken against four police officers following the death of a black man named George Floyd. Four police officers have been fired over the death of George Floyd, a black American, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, according to a foreign news agency.
The action against police officers came after a video surfaced on social media showing a white police officer kneeling on George Floyd's neck while a black man was unarmed.
The tragic incident took place on Monday when a police officer grabbed George Floyd by the back of the arm and raised him to the ground. In a state of distress, he kept telling the policeman to get up and that he could not breathe. The video, made by a passerby and went viral on social media, features the voice of a black man, repeatedly pleading, "Please, I can't breathe, I can't breathe."
A few minutes after the scene, George Floyd's eyes closed and his constant voice faded. However, the police officer did not remove his knee from his neck, and passers-by continued to move. Not doing so, he needs help. Another police officer stood by and watched the crowd. George Floyd was later taken to hospital but died and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Aradondo told a news conference, without naming the officers, that they had been fired. The state Bureau of Criminal Operations and the FBI have launched separate investigations into the incident. According to the news agency, the lawyer of George Floyd's family, Ben Krump, said that what happened was a very wrong, excessive and inhumane use of force, which took a human life, adding that on the contrary. Police could have detained and questioned him.
The lawyer asked the Minneapolis Police Department how many more black and white lives would be needed to end racial discrimination and the denigration of blacks. Meanwhile, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said in a statement that the decision to fire police officers was "absolutely right for our city, we have stated our values, now we have to live according to them." According to the news agency, murder provisions have also been imposed on Hollis officials.
