In a press conference Wednesday, honoring the two-year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, LA County DA George Gascón promised to hold police accountable for alleged misconduct.
"In LA County, I made a commitment that we will ensure that we will do everything we can to have good law enforcement in our county," he said. Gascón said his office has charged several officers after reopening cases.Gascón said five officers from four different agencies have been charged with assault. Four other officers have been charged with filing false police reports and destroying evidence.
"We will continue to ensure that we do our work and that we support those that are doing good work and we hold accountable those who are not. We also have a special prosecutor looking at several other cases, and we're awaiting the results of this investigation," said Gascón. Black Lives Matter protesters held their weekly rally Wednesday calling for police accountability and ending police associations. BLM"We witnessed as George Floyd, a Black father, and brother and son had the life stolen from him. It was an agonizing nine minutes and 29 seconds when Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin ground his knee into George Floyd's neck," said Abdullah.
