Fox News host Sean Hannity condemned the cops involved in George Floyd’s death Thursday evening, calling the actions “excessive and extreme” and noted that it gives all cops a bad name.
Floyd died Monday at a hospital after police pinned him to the ground during an arrest for alleged forgery, with one stepping on his neck. Video footage showed Floyd crying out that he could not breathe as the officer continued to step on his neck.
The footage pushed back on the narrative that Floyd supposedly became violent, a note that Hannity pointed out Thursday. Hannity added that actions like this against Floyd give the many good cops a bad reputation and said virtually everyone agreed that the actions in this incident were cause for outrage.
“I believe the 99% [of cops] do their job with the utmost professionalism,” Hannity said.
