KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Kalamazoo Mayor David Anderson, City Manager Jim Ritsema, and Public Safety Chief Karianne Thomas have released a joint statement concerning the death of George Floyd and the subsequent situation surrounding it.
The statement, issued Friday, states that:
“The heartbreaking use of force incident in Minneapolis by those sworn to protect and serve has shocked the conscience. There may be more information yet available, but the videos we have seen make it clear the actions and inactions of the officers involved were unacceptable. We must be willing to denounce actions that are wrong to continue to build trust within our communities and create a more equitable and just future.”
