| Former US President Barack Obama has issued a statement on the death
of George Floyd, the black man who died after being pinned down by a
white police officer in Minneapolis on Monday. Obama, 58, released a statement via his Twitter page, saying it "cannot be normal" in 2020 and urged the Minnesota authorities to 'ensure that the circumstances surrounding George Floyd's death are investigated thoroughly'.  Obama, U.S. first black president, added: "This shouldn't be 'normal' in 2020 America. It can't be normal. If we want our children to grow up in a nation that lives to its highest ideals, we can and must do better. "It was fall mainly on the officials of Minnesota to ensure that the circumstances surrounding George Floyd's death is investigated thoroughly and that justice is ultimately done. "But it falls on all of us, regardless of our race or station - including the majority of men and women in law enforcement who take pride in doing their tough job the right way, every day - to work together to create a "new normal" in which the legacy of bigotry and unequal treatment no longer infects our institutions or our hearts." "It's natural to wish for life "to just get back to normal" as a pandemic and economic crisis upend everything around us," he said. "But we have to remember that for millions of Americans, being treated differently on account of race is tragically, painfully and maddeningly "normal" - whether it's while dealing with the healthcare system, or interacting with the criminal justice system, or jogging down the street, or just watching birds in a park." Obama's statement was released shortly before it was announced that Derek Chauvin, the officer who knelt on Floyd, has been arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. |
