Mirror shares that Snoop Dogg and Jamie Foxx expressed their heartfelt grief over the death of George Floyd, who lost his life in May.
The two music stars stated that black men were treated worse than their white counterparts who broke the law. According to The Mirror, following the outcry of George's death, the Minneapolis Police Department made it known that he resisted arrest leading up to his death.
However, footage was released showing that Floyd had not resisted arrest, and the officer in charge had him on the floor as he pinned him down with his knees on George's neck.
The Minneapolis officers involved in the arrest have since been fired from their jobs while the cop responsible for Floyd's death, Derek Chauvin, was charged with manslaughter and third-degree murder.
