However, Hal Marx, the mayor of Petal, Mississippi, appears to be showing support for the police officer who killed Floyd.
Mayor Hal Marx said in a now-deleted tweet, referring to the police officers who were fired after one of them pressed his knee on Floyd’s neck for about 5 minutes which led to his death.
“I think that people are so quick to judge the police before they have all the facts,” Marx told the Clarion-Ledger.
Moreover, Marx offered an apology through a Facebook live video but is still trying to defend the police officers involved in Floyd’s death.
“We should mourn for his death, obviously, but let’s also wait for all the facts to get out before we condemn these police officers who may or may not have done anything wrong in this case.
