Letter Published in The National UAEon 31May 20Your Skin colur should never be a death sentenceI write to you in reference to your article Minneapolis police officer who knelt on handcuffed George Floyd charged with murder (May 29). This news item was a difficult read. It is unacceptable for a man to die in custody. The police should protect the people, not threaten their lives. The US often falls prey to shooting rampages due to their gun culture. Paired with institutional racism against certain communities, the combo can only be disastrous. Justice must be served for those who have taken Floyd's life.
