Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke with reporters on Wednesday and offered his thoughts regarding a number of topics amid nationwide protests against systemic racism and police brutality sparked by the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis Police custody on May 25.
Video showed officer Derek Chauvin pressing his knee into Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes during an arrest. Floyd said he could not breathe and that his entire body hurt but Chauvin did not move his knee and three other officers involved did not intervene. Floyd died at a nearby hospital, per CNN.
