Original Note:
Even though the tweet is factually correct, many readers have misinterpreted it to mean that the store owner called the police on Floyd. That is inaccurate.¹ The owner rather asked his employee to “call the police on the police” & record the murder.² Sources: 1. https://www.reuters.com/article/world/fact-check-mahmoud-abumayyaleh-did-not-call-the-police-on-george-floyd-idUSKBN23C21C/ 2. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/owner-minneapolis-grocery-store-says-he-told-employee-call-police-n1216461
