A New York Police officer apologized to his colleagues for taking a knee during a George Floyd protest.
Lt. Robert Cattani was one of the officers seen kneeling at a protest on May 31, according to The New York Post.
In an email sent to his fellow officers on June 3, Cattani claimed he made a ““horrible decision to give into a crowd of protesters’ demands.”
Cattani told his fellow officers he felt the gesture might improve cops’ standing with protesters, a position he’s now repudiating.
Cattani also acknowledged Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis Police officer charged in the killing of George Floyd.
