Minneapolis police chief: All involved officers 'complicit' in George Floyd's death
By Justin Wise - 06/01/20 07:33 AM EDT


Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said Sunday that all of the officers involved in the arrest of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody, were "complicit" and that they should bear responsibility for his death.

Arradondo made the comments while appearing for an interview in which CNN correspondent Sarah Sidner conveyed a question from Floyd's brother, Philonise Floyd. Asked by Philonise if Arradondo would "get justice" for his brother and arrest all of the officers involved, the police chief responded, "being silent or not intervening, to me, you're complicit."

"So I don't see a level of distinction any different. Mr. Floyd died in our hands, and so I see that as being complicit," Arradondo added as he stood at the site of George Floyd's arrest, which is now serving as a makeshift memorial.

6. This guy?

What do you think?

7. I would say no. I can't get video. I was seeing the picture on the right. I know there is someone

high up int he police force in Minneapolis that had that on the jacket, obviously a white cop.

8. You are probably thinking of

Bob Kroll. He is the union leader, possible white supremacist and certified asshole.

[LizBeth]

9. Yes. That would be the man. In this time of police racism and violence you would think on camera

that would be a conversation to have with this man asking him how he can represent a force with those beliefs. Thank you.

10. Ironically, here he is putting out a statement.
