Abington Township’s Chief of Police Patrick Malloy was on The Dom Giordano Program on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT on Thursday. Giordano interviewed Malloy about the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis while being arrested by police. You can listen to the interview below.

Chief Malloy also put out a written statement:

On behalf of all the men and women of the Abington Township Police Department, I want to express my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Mr. George Floyd.  While I can never fully understand the pain and anger that his loved ones are feeling after witnessing this video, I can assure you that law enforcement professionals throughout the country are appalled by this example of extreme police brutality, callousness, and failure to render aid.  All citizens should be outraged after witnessing this officer kneeling on Mr. Floyd’s throat while he was handcuffed, compliant, and in the prone position causing positional asphyxia. (positional asphyxia-a position that prevents a person from breathing adequately) What made this video even more disturbing was the complete lack of humanity displayed by the officers as Mr. Floyd pleaded for help and repeatedly complained that he could not breathe. The officer failed to even acknowledge his pleas for help and continued to kneel on his throat, while the other officers stood by for what appeared to be an eternity. The conduct of these officers is inexcusable, and all involved need to be held accountable.
