A video showing a uniformed NYPD officer appearing to make a white power symbol during a George Floyd protest has prompted an internal review.
"So there's a viral clip going around of white officers throwing up the 'White Power' sign," he captioned the Instagram post."I was taking a picture for my YouTube live thumbnail, and the two officers photobombed it throwing up their signs. What do y’all think about that?"The man who recorded the incident said he had attended the demonstration to document it.
The man who recorded it told NBC News that he believed the officer made the gesture"to communicate white power and to say, 'We're going to win at the end.'" Twitter users flagged the video to the police department, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea, Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York State Attorney General Letitia James.
Delaney Kempner, a spokeswoman for James' office, told NBC News on Monday that they are aware of the video but could not comment on specifics of investigations.Gov. Andrew Cuomo's request that her office review the NYPD's response
