Authorities in New Jersey have moved to terminate a white corrections officer who was caught on camera mocking the death of George Floyd at a protest.
On Tuesday, the state's Department of Corrections tweeted that removal charges have been served on the officer seen among a group of white men counter-protesting a rally against police brutality and systemic racism in Franklin Township in South Jersey.
The officer was one of two white men posing with one kneeling on the neck of the other — an apparent recreation of the deadly arrest of Floyd, a Black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes.
"The Officer was placed on non-pay status pending a due process hearing as part of the regular procedure for government unionized employees," the Corrections Department's tweet said.
