National outrage is growing after a video of a Minnesota officer allegedly suffocating a Black man by kneeling on his neck surfaced on the Internet Monday night (May 25).

He died shortly after. On Tuesday, the four officers involved in the incident were fired. "This is the right call," tweeted Mayor Jacob Frey in response to the action taken.
