President Obama posted an eight paragraph-long statement on Twitter on Friday morning, which included reactions from his African-American friends.
"This shouldn't be 'normal' in 2020 America," he wrote. "It can't be 'normal'. If we want our children to grow up in a nation that lives up to its highest ideals, we can and must be better."
He continued: "It will fall mainly on the officials of Minnesota to ensure that the circumstances surrounding George Floyd's death are investigated thoroughly and that justice is ultimately done.
"But it falls on us all, regardless of our race or station - including the majority of men and women in law enforcement who take pride in doing their tough job the right way, every day - to work together to create a 'new normal' in which the legacy of bigotry and unequal treatment no longer infects our institutions or our hearts."
