Many Black police officers are walking a tightrope these days, trying to find a balance between their duty and outrage over the killing of George Floyd by former police officer Derek Chauvin.
"It's complex," said Lieutenant Greacia Herdsman in an interview with CBS News National Correspondent Errol Barnett.
The 28-year veteran of the NYPD said a White officer told her she was “anti-cop” when she voiced her opinion that the Minneapolis police officers who stood by and did nothing while Chauvin killed Floyd should be held accountable.
