Correction: This video misstated the way George Floyd was killed and the circumstances of a Department of Justice investigation. Floyd died after a white police officer kneeled on his neck past the point when he lost consciousness, not in a shooting. This video also stated that the Justice Department is investigating the shooting. The Justice Department is investigating whether there were any civil rights abuses related to his in-custody death.
