“Being Black in America should not be a death sentence. For five minutes, we watched a white officer press his knee into a Black man’s neck. Five minutes. When you hear someone calling for help, you’re supposed to help. This officer failed in the most basic, human sense,” Frey posted.Minneapolis police said Floyd matched the description of a suspect in a forgery case and resisted arrest.

It is considered a “non-deadly force option,” according to the department’s policy handbook.
