U. S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams this week gave his thoughts on the death of George Floyd who was killed by Minneapolis police on May 25, drawing comparisons between him and Floyd.
Adams noted on Politic’s «Pulse Check» podcast that Floyd, 46, was the «the same age that I am.»
“That could be me, pulled over for speeding five miles over the speed limit. That could be me with a busted tail light,” Adams told the publication. “That could be me who is just seen as a black man and not as the surgeon general of the United States — especially if I’m not wearing a uniform, but I’m casually dressed in my hoodie and tennis shoes and athletic apparel — and that could be me on the side of a road with a knee in my neck.
