An entire country suffered deep wounds on the streets of Minneapolis. We are all profoundly saddened and our hearts are broken.

We want the entire Davis and UC Davis community to know that what we saw was unacceptable and that we train and demand that our officers do much better.

Rest in peace, George Floyd.
