Photo appearing to mock George Floyd's death leads to SC school district investigation
A photo that appears to mock George Floyd’s death prompted an investigation from a South Carolina school district, officials said.
The picture shows one person pressing a knee against the neck of another who lies on the ground, according to social media posts. A caption written across the photo reads: “I can’t breathe.”
Two students are accused of appearing in the photo, which is the focus of a Berkeley County School District probe, WCSC reported Tuesday. The school system is based in Moncks Corner, roughly 30 miles north of Charleston.
“The District is aware of the photograph, is investigating, and will act in accordance with District policy,” spokesperson Katie Tanner said in a statement to news outlets. “Under federal and state law, the District cannot offer comment on student matters.”
