In the protests that have erupted across the U.S. following the death of George Floyd, police officers have been caught on video shoving, hitting and ramming their vehicles into protesters.
The result, according to protesters and city leaders, is a troubling moment where police officers are acting with impunity on the streets of America.
But in Philadelphia, no officers have faced immediate repercussions after video surfaced online of a group of Philadelphia police officers firing tear gas into a crowd of protesters who were pinned back against a high berm along the Vine street expressway. "An attack on a police officer is an attack on all of us, plain and simple," de Blasio said."If you say, 'Well, this one did something wrong,' then we will deal with this one. But how about the other 36,000 who did something right?"
"We didn't have protests last night. We had criminal acts," Moore said Monday."We didn't have people mourning the death of this man, George Floyd. We had people capitalizing. His death is on their hands, as much as it is those officers."In Salt Lake City, Mayor Erin Mendenhall said she is struggling to figure out how to balance her desire to improve the living conditions of minorities in her city, which is 73% white, and her respect for the city's police force.
Mendenhall called the incident “wholly heartbreaking and inappropriate” and said she called on Brown to investigate right away, but stopped short of urging the chief to immediately fire or seek charges against the officer involved.
