'It's time for a revolution,' Green Bay Police Department Police Chief Andrew Smith said.
In a statement published on Twitter, the Camden County Police said Wysocki wanted to stand"together with the residents we serve to remember and honor George Floyd."In Manhattan, a number of officers with the NYPD, a department that has faced widespread scrutiny over its relationship with the black community, joined protesters, with several officers in the 103rd Precinct taking a knee in a show of solidarity.
In a statement posted on Twitter on Sunday, the department said Mylett was"talking with the peaceful demonstrators, answering questions."It also asked the public to stop calling 911 to report looting."We are aware of the situation and are actively working on it," the department said, adding that 911 was"getting inundated with calls about looting and the lines need to be left open for emergencies.
"I want to first start off by saying thank you for being here. I respect you for being here. I think it's the right thing for you to be out here protesting," he said. "I said to myself, 'That is murder right there' and sure enough, 2-3 days later he was arrested," the police chief said, noting that Chauvin has since been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
