REVEALED!! Black Officer Involved In George Floyd Killing Is Nigerian

The killing of George Floyd in the Month of May by a white officer in Minneapolis has one of the black police officers who is Nigerian father at the scene, Sahara reporters gathered.

The report revealed that, because Alex Kueng believed diversity could force change in a Police Department long accused of racism, he joined the police.

As hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated against the police after Mr Floyd’s killing on May 25, Mr Kueng became part of a national debate over police violence toward black people, a symbol of the very sort of policing he had long said he wanted to stop.

Suspected rapist, AfolabiIt could be recalled that, Kueng faces charges of aiding and abetting in Floyd’s death, is out on bail, hounded at the supermarket by strangers and denounced by some family members.

The report also revealed that, long before Mr Kueng was arrested, he had wrestled with the issue of police abuse of black people, joining the force in part to help protect people close to him from police aggression. He argued that diversity could force change in a Police Department long accused of racism.

According to Sahara Reporters who coated from The New York Times, says that he had seen one sibling arrested and treated poorly, in his view, by sheriff’s deputies. He had found himself defending his decision to join the police force, saying he thought it was the best way to fix a broken system, adding that he had clashed with friends over whether public demonstrations could make things better.

He said, “Don’t you think that that needs to be done from the inside?’” his mother, Joni Kueng, recalled him saying after he watched protesters block a highway years ago. “That’s part of the reason why he wanted to become a police officer and a black police officer on top of it is to bridge that gap in the community, change the narrative between the officers and the black community.”

The officer who placed his knee on Floyd’s neck for more than eight minutes, Derek Chauvin, has been most widely associated with the case. He faces charges of second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter; Mr Kueng and two other former officers were charged with aiding and abetting the killing.

At 26, Mr Kueng was the youngest and least experienced officer at the scene, on only his third shift as a full officer. The arrest of Mr Kueng, whose mother is white and whose father was from Nigeria, has brought anguish to his friends and family.

“It’s a gut punch,” Ms Kueng said. “Here you are, you’ve raised this child, you know who he is inside and out. We’re such a racially diverse family. To be wrapped up in a racially motivated incident like this is just unfathomable.”

Two of Mr Kueng’s siblings, Taylor and Radiance, both of whom are African-American, called for the arrests of all four officers, including their brother. They joined protests in Minneapolis.
