Green Bay Packers safety Adrian Amos joined the online conversation following the death Monday of George Floyd after his detainment by four Minneapolis police officers. Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American man, later died at a local hospital. Video circulated of an officer kneeling on Floyd’s neck and Floyd saying he could not breathe.
On Wednesday, Amos spoke to Packers media over Zoom about why he felt it was important for him to be part of the discourse.
“Situations like this are just tough, just feeling as though you can be in situations like that and seeing a lot of situations like that repeat itself,” Amos said.
