L.A.'s police chief has, for a second time, walked back controversial comments comparing looting to the killing of George Floyd
"Let me be clear — there are four police officers and four alone responsible for the death of George Floyd," Michael Moore tweeted on Monday.
Early Monday evening, Mayor Eric Garcetti joined Moore and Los Angeles Fire Chief Ralph Terrazas for an update on the city's official response to activity across the city as a county-wide curfew went into effect. Garcetti spoke first and, in doing so, quoted the younger brother of George Floyd, the man killed while being detained by Minneapolis police officers. Terrence Floyd appeared in Brooklyn earlier in the day where he voiced opposition to unrest and instead urged action at the polls.
He said that "the worst things get on the news," but he tuned in to images of "engagement and restraint" with videos showing officers taking a knee in some cities, residents hugging the National Guard in others.
