A spokesperson for the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office didn’t respond to a request for comment Thursday from the Associated Press. Floyd, a black man, died after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee against Floyd's neck for nearly eight minutes. The Portland City Commission made June 19 a paid city holiday earlier this week to honor Juneteenth, which celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. Minneapolis prosecutors revealed this week that the officer had his knee on Floyd's neck for 7 minutes, 46 seconds.
