Ex-Minneapolis police chief recalls ‘absolutely gut-wrenching’ moment of seeing George Floyd video
Former Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo says he wishes he had moved faster to change the culture of his department before the murder of George Floyd, which happened five years ago Sunday. Arradondo, the city’s first Black police chief, told The Associated Press he also wishes he had done more to elevate the community voices demanding change. He recently published a book, “Chief Rondo: Securing Justice for the Murder of George Floyd.” He closes it with a letter to Floyd’s daughter, Gianna in which he says something she hasn’t heard from the former officers convicted in Floyd’s death: “I’m sorry.”
