LAPD chief: George Floyd’s death is ‘on the hands’ of people ‘capitalizing’ on protests

In a speech on Monday, Los Angeles police chief Michael Moore appeared to blame George Floyd's death partially on the people protesting George Floyd's death.


"We didn't have protests last night; we had criminal acts," said Moore. "We didn't have people mourning the death of this man, George Floyd; we had people capitalizing. His death is on their hands as much as it is those officers. And that is a strong statement, but I must say that this civil unrest that we're in the midst of, we must turn a corner from people who are involved in violence."
