The owner of the store where employees called 911 on George Floyd says that in future neither he nor his workers will contact the authorities in similar situations.

“Police are supposed to protect and serve their communities; instead, what we’ve seen over and over again is the police abusing their power and violating the people’s trust. We realize now that escalating situations to the police almost always does more harm than good, even for something as harmless as a fake bill,” Cup Foods in Minneapolis said in a statement.
