A New Jersey corrections officer was suspended and a FedEx worker fired after two All Lives Matter demonstrators mockingly re-enacted George Floyd’s death on Monday to apparently counter a Black Lives Matter march in Franklinville, New Jersey.
The moment was videotaped by several people from both sides of the protest and posted on social media. “Black lives matter to no one,” shouts one apparent All Lives Matter protester.
The entire incident lasted one minute and 23 seconds, according to video posted to social media that CNN has obtained.
The video appears to have been taken by an All Lives Matter protester and shows what was happening before and after the Black Lives Matter march passed by.

Other eyewitness videos, taken by Black Lives Matters marchers, pick up what happened next.
“I felt something was happening because the officers began shifting us to the opposite side of the street as we marched closer to that area,” Russell Sampson, a Black Lives Matter marcher, told CNN.
Ten seconds after the escorting police cars roll by, when the marchers approach, the kneeling man starts shouting at them. “You don’t comply, that’s what happens,” he screams, gesturing at the protesters to the person underneath him.
