GOP Sen. Tim Scott calls for the arrest of other officers involved in Floyd death

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) called for the arrest of the three other officers who were involved in the arrest and death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died while in police custody in Minneapolis.

"4 days later. Still three arrests to go. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd" Scott tweeted Saturday.

Four Minneapolis police officers were fired Tuesday after bystander video emerged showing former officer Derek Chauvin pinning Floyd down behind a police car with his knee on Floyd's neck. Chauvin was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter Friday.

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said Friday that it is likely that the other officers involved in the arrest will face charges.

We need a few of these fence straddlers to say enough is enough, and switch parties, at least for now

Are you helping to give voices to the oppressed, or are you giving more power to the already powerful?
