A white venture capitalist in Minneapolis has had his office lease terminated after threatening to call the police on a group of black entrepreneurs who are also tenants in the building and accusing them of trespassing

that he “should have handled it differently” and that it was “not my job to have done anything.” Heon Christian Cooper, an avid birdwatcher in Central Park, after he asked her to observe the rules and put her dog on a leash.

Floyd died in hospital on Monday after a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, disturbingly put his knee to Floyd’s neck for eight minutes as he struggled to breathe. Four Minneapolis officers were fired, and protesters as well as Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are urging prosecutors to file criminal charges against Chauvin and the other officers.

Frey said on Wednesday being “black should not be a death sentence,” while hundreds of demonstrators who gathered at the junction where Floyd died were later sprayed with tear gas, prompting clashes. Floyd’s death has drawn comparisons to the death of Eric Garner, who died after being put in a chokehold by a New York police officer in 2014.
