Gov. Ned Lamont has responded to the death of George Floyd, saying he is disgusted by what he saw in the video that shows Floyd being kneeled on by a white police officer in Minneapolis.

"Yet again we're shocked by the video of a black man being killed; I was particularly shocked that nobody tried to stop it, that nobody yelled 'stop, enough,'" he says in a video posted on Twitter. "I was moved by the comments of our police chief from Bridgeport who said I would have been out there demonstrating as well but I was busy keeping the peace; which they pretty successfully did, for which I am very thankful."

 

Lamont also showed his shirt in the video, which says "I Can't Breathe."
