"George Floyd could have been me"

Adams, 45, from New Jersey, said that he identified with 46-year-old Floyd, who was killed by police on May 25 in Minneapolis.

‘That could be me, pulled over for speeding five miles over the speed limit,’ said Adams. That could be me with a busted tail light.

‘That could be me who is just seen as a black man and not as the surgeon general of the United States — especially if I’m not wearing a uniform, but I’m casually dressed in my hoodie and tennis shoes and athletic apparel — and that could be me on the side of a road with a knee in my neck.’
