Texans defensive end J.J. Watt addressed the death of Houston native George Floyd, who died on Monday night in Minneapolis police custody, in an interview with KPRC 2 Houston.
Floyd, 46, was stopped by Minneapolis police outside of a local grocery store. Video of the scene captured Floyd pinned on the ground as an officer placed his knee on Floyd's neck for approximately eight minutes. Floyd died soon after the incident.
Four Minneapolis police officers were fired on Tuesday night for their involvement in Floyd's death.
"I’ve seen the video and I think it’s disgusting," Watt said on Wednesday.
