George Floyd death: FBI, law enforcement promise 'robust' investigations into incident | FULL

Описание: U.S. attorney for the district of Minnesota Erica MacDonald, Minneapolis FBI field office agent in charge Rainer Drolshagen, Hennepin County attorney Mike Freeman and other Minnesota state and federal officials held a briefing on Thursday about the investigation into the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a police officer knelt on his neck until he eventually became unresponsive.

Drolshagen said that they would conduct a swift and "meticulous" investigation into the incident, a similar promise echoed by MacDonald and Freeman for their respective offices. The FBI agent also said they are calling on any witnesses before, during or after the incident involving George Floyd, or people who may have information about or video of the incident to come forward.

Freeman spoke about video showing the officer kneeling on Floyd's neck for more than seven minutes and called it “graphic and horrific,” but said he must prove the officer violated a criminal statute. He said there was other evidence that did not support a criminal charge, but did not elaborate on what that evidence was. Freeman also called on people to demonstrate peacefully and violent protests take resources away from the investigation.
