A Massachusetts police department has apologized for sharing an offensive Facebook post about George Floyd, saying it was posted accidentally by an officer who intended it for his personal account.

The screenshot of a tweet shared on the Fall River Police Departments Facebook page referenced former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvins reaction to being convicted of murdering George Floyd in May 2020.

It read: Chauvin immediately stood and calmly placed his hands behind his back. Imagine where wed be had George done the same.
The post sparked widespread anger and was quickly deleted.

The police department explained that its Facebook page had been accessed by personnel who inadvertently re-posted an opinion that was meant for their own personal account.

The posting in no way represents the opinion of the police chief or the department, the statement continued.

Imagine where we'd be if police actually protect and serve, opposed to attack and kill.

What was said that was wrong?
Granted yes if Chauvin didn't put his knee on Floyd he would be alive as well, but it also is true if Floyd was calm and not on the amount of drugs he was on, most likely he would've just stayed seated in the police vehicle instead of freaking out.

Because by pointing that out you raise the question of *why* you are pointing it out - and the answer is often "trying to minimize"

How about, "imagine where we'd be had Chauvin not placed his knee on Floyd's neck."

JFC. I hope the officer posts it on his personal account like he intended to. The replies would tear him to shreds.

Its the implication that if you don't 100% follow all of a cops instructions that you deserve whatever happens to you, including being murdered

And this is a good point, the only thing that should happen is Floyd still gets arrested and now has a few more charges against him.

Why didn't Chauvin comply when Floyd and others told him to get off because he couldn't breathe?

Comply or die right?
