Protesters gather in Minneapolis calling for justice for George Floyd, who died Monday after he was pinned down by a police officer who put his knee on Floyd's neck.
The Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis said in a statement earlier Tuesday that the fired officers were fully cooperating with the investigation.
"We must review all video. We must wait for the medical examiner's report," the statement said."Officers' actions and training protocol will be carefully examined after the officers have provided their statements." In a statement early Tuesday, Minneapolis police said the officers were responding to a report of a forgery in progress and found the suspect in his car. They said he got out of the car when ordered, but then physically resisted officers.Dennis Romero writes for NBC News and is based in Los Angeles.
