The family of George Floyd and Floyd family attorney, Ben Crump, is calling for the termination of a Los Angeles Police officer who mocked the death of George Floyd. They also want to publicly thank and commend Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore who has no objection to that officer being fired for allegedly sharing a Valentine-style meme of George Floyd’s face and the line, “You take my breath away.”
Ben Crump, an attorney for Floyd’s family praised Moore’s recommendation, saying the officer had demonstrated unacceptable biases by sharing the image.
“If a person has that kind of mentality, they are not the type of people who we want with a gun and a badge, who are supposed to be protecting and serving all citizens equally,” Crump said. “We have to try to stomp out this implicit bias as much as possible, to make sure that all our citizens are given their constitutional rights.”
