A major at the Mississippi has drawn backlash to his remarks about the death of unarmed black man ( George Floyd ) in police custody in Minneapolis,Saying he didn’t see anything unreasonable with the arrest.
Hal Marx mayor of Petal about 90 miles southern of Jackson makes the remarks on twitter in Wednesday,but has since deleted the tweets saying he was misinterpreted.
“I didn’t see anything unreasonable, if you can say you can’t breath , you’re breathing. Marx wrote on Floyd arrest,captured on bystanders video that show a police office kneeling on the kneck of a 46 year old black man as he groaned I can’t breathe.
Marx continued “most likely the man died of overdose or heart attack. Video didn’t show his resistance that got him in this position .Police being crucified”.
The video showed Floyd going emotionless and unresponsive in a without pulse, he was later declared dead in a hospital about an hour ago.
Many twitter users began to criticize Marx for his comment in the wake of Floyd’s.
Marx went on to say that we do not know the full story of what happened before the video.it’s impossible to know why the police remained in that position. Again ,the officers were not restricting his breathing.
He has since received several Facebook comments criticizing what he tweeted.
Thus Major Hil Marx have a point in what he said or he is just being racist?
