On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was killed and the video of his death gives police officers the same feelings of anger and disgust that it does all citizens. We took an oath as police officers to protect people and what occurred in Minneapolis is contrary to that oath. The men and women of the Lynn Police Department will continue to work with our community and restore the trust that has been damaged as a result of this incident. We are all in this together.
