Four Minnesota officers have been fired following the arrest of a man who died Monday night after being pinned to the ground by an officer who put his knee on the man’s neck for about eight minutes.
Video of the incident shows that a white police officer had a black man, identified as George Floyd, pinned to the ground next to the back tire of his patrol car with his knee on the man’s neck.
“Please, please, please I can’t breathe,” the man begs. “My stomach hurts. My neck hurts. Please, please. I can’t breathe.”
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey announced the termination of the officers involved Tuesday and said it was the “right call.”
This is a developing story.
