Washington police departments call George Floyd's arrest 'disturbing, unacceptable'

Law enforcement agencies across Washington state are responding to the death of George Floyd, a black man who was killed in Minneapolis Monday night following a police arrest.

Four Minneapolis police officers involved in the arrest were fired after Floyd was pinned to the ground for around eight minutes as an officer pressed his knee on his neck.

The message from law enforcement after watching the video has been consistent as local police chiefs and departments describe the actions of the officers as "disturbing" and "wrong."

“Actions seen in the video are not consistent with the training or values we work to promote. Each person deserves justice, and we will continue our work to improve policies, training, culture and transparency,” the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs said in a tweet.
