More Than A Dozen Minneapolis Police Back Reforms In Open Letter To City Residents
More than a dozen Minneapolis police officers who say they represent hundred of others condemn the former officer charged with killing George Floyd.
"We wholeheartedly condemn Derek Chauvin," the letter states at the outset, and it goes on to denounce the now-fired officer's actions.
The letter is signed by 14 officers but it says it expresses "what the vast majority of Minneapolis police officers feel at this moment."
While the letter denounces Chauvin and his actions, it makes no mention of the two rookie officers who helped pin Floyd face down on the street, nor does it mention another officer who stood watch.
The 14 officers who signed the letter include former Minneapolis police union president John Delmonico.
