Fall River police apologize for Facebook post about George Floyd

The Fall River Police Department apologized Wednesday after eradicating a Facebook post that appeared to criticize George Floyd, hours after his killer was convicted of homicide.

Officials expressed “regret” about the Facebook post and stated it was made by “personnel who inadvertently re-posted an opinion that was meant for their own personal account.”

The post commented on the conduct of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin after he was convicted on all counts and compares that to George Floyd’s demise on a metropolis road in circumstances that have been detailed at size throughout the trial.

According to The Herald News, the post was a screenshot of a tweet that learn “Chauvin immediately stood and calmly placed his hands behind his back. Imagine where we’d be if George had done the same.”

By early Wednesday afternoon, the post was deleted and the division issued this assertion distancing itself from that remark:

“It is with regret that the Fall River Police Department’s Facebook page was accessed by personnel who inadvertently re-posted an opinion that was meant for their own personal account. The posting in no way represents the opinion of the Chief of Police or the Fall River Police Department. We will continue our commitment toward transparency and building relationships with our community.”
