Polis i USA stryper försvarslöse George Floyd till döds, allmänheten filmar, 25/5-20

"- Under all uniform är han en mjukis. Han är en sådan gentleman. Han öppnar fortfarande dörren för mig och tar på mig min kappa.

St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell:

The chief says he was "shocked, disgusted, angry and grieving"

" I asked every SPPD police officer to watch the horrible video and do something different. I asked them to put themselves in George Floyd’s shoes."

"I asked them to imagine they are on the ground and cannot breathe. Imagine that their only option is to turn to a police officer for help. Imagine the pain, fear and desperation. Then think about how their families would feel later, watching such a video of them, beneath the knee of an officer, with no hope.

"Then I asked them to put themselves in the shoes of the officers, the bystanders, the community members we serve who are now forced to confront this tragedy.

As painful as this is, it’s something we, as law enforcement professionals, must do. Because when we lose our integrity, respect for all, compassion and empathy – when we stop seeing people and only see problems – we lose everything that is good about our profession."

Om man sysslar med hals dagligen inser man att #GeorgeFloyd inte hade en chans. Det trycket och den tyngden mot halsen förstör luftvägen och krossar struphuvudet. En hemsk död och ytterligare en människa som faller offer för brutalitet. Ett människoliv är litet värt ibland
