Former President Barack Obama live-streamed a town hall titled "A conversation with President Obama: Reimagining Policing in the Wake of Continued Police Violence" on his Obama Foundation website Wednesday afternoon (June 3) to discuss taking action following George Floyd's unlawful murder at the hands of white police officers last week in Minnesota.

During his speech, Obama expressed how he and his wife former First Lady Michelle "are committed to the fight of a more just nation in memory of your sons and daughters," he said, aiming at the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade and more Black people who died over the last few months due to racist murders.
