Falcons center Alex Mack met with the local media on a virtual conference call Thursday and discussed the death of George Floyd in Minnesota:
Here’s what Mack had to say: “I don’t know all of the details. I know it’s a tragedy. No one wants to see a life lost. It’s really tough. Without knowing the specifics of anything, I know it’s a difficult time in the nation. I know it something that as a nation we’ve got heal.
“Police officers have a really tough job. They are constantly on the street putting their lives on the line for the health and safety for everybody. For the mistrust to be there is difficult.
“On the same hand, people can’t be dying on routine stops and stuff. It’s a tough situation that I’m not equipped at all to have a solution or an appropriate answer. I just know that it’s a tragedy. The more people can talk about it and figure things out, the better.”
