Chris Wallace on George Floyd’s death: This may be the ugliest we have ever seen
‘Fox News Sunday’ anchor Chris Wallace discusses the growing outrage over the death of George Floyd on ‘America’s Newsroom.’
Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow was the latest athlete to speak out about societal issues after George Floyd’s police-involved death in Minneapolis earlier this week.
Floyd was killed as Minneapolis police officers had him in custody Monday. A video appeared to show one officer with a knee on Floyd’s neck as he screamed for help and that he was having trouble breather. Floyd later died.

Burrow tweeted Friday that the black community is hurting.
“The black community needs our help. They have been unheard for far too long. Open your ears, listen, and speak. This isn’t politics. This is human rights,” he wrote.
The former LSU star quarterback was among the athletes who have spoken out in wake of Floyd’s death. His comments came a day after Philadelphia Eagles stars Carson Wentz and Zach Ertz released separate statements on the matter.
The Minneapolis police officers involved in Floyd’s death have been fired. No charges have been filed in the case.
