An ambulance arrived and took Floyd to a local medical facility, where he was pronounced dead. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey apologized to Floyd's family and the black community, saying Tuesday that"being black in America should not be a death sentence."

This officer failed in the most basic, human sense."by the Minneapolis Police Department, a move Mayor Frey called"the right call." Thousands of protesters converged upon the scene of Floyd's death, some carrying signs reading"I can't breathe," the words Floyd was heard to say as officers detained him Monday.
