Frey took to Twitter on May 27th writing, “If most people, particularly people of color, had done what a police officer did late Monday, they’d already be behind bars. That’s why today I’m calling on Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman to charge the arresting officer in this case.”
That’s why today I’m calling on Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman to charge the arresting officer in this case.Frey continued: “There are precedents and protocols sitting in the reserves of institutions like this one that will give you about a thousand reasons not to do something. To not speak out. To not move so quickly.”
Floyd died on Monday, May 25th, 2020 after the arresting officer knelt on his neck for eight minutes while Floyd begged him to stop because he couldn’t breathe. “Please, please, please, I can’t breathe,” Floyd said. “My stomach hurts. My neck hurts. Please, please. I can’t breathe.”
