“My Son Was Tortured. I Saw The Torture,” Victim’s Mother Says
She continued: “My son was tortured. I saw the torture,” she said of “seven officers on one man,” allegedly including one pinning her son with a knee on his neck, eerily similar to George Floyd’s death, the New York Post reports.
“He was treated inhumanely. It was traumatic — and it was systematic,” she said, saying the abuse “went on and it went on until he took his last breath.”
