Auditor Nicole Galloway statement on the killing of George Floyd

Columbia, Mo. — Auditor Nicole Galloway today made the following statement:

"The killing of George Floyd has opened another painful glimpse into our fractured criminal justice system. The law enforcement officers involved should be held accountable. In Missouri, we are all too familiar with this pain. Fixing it starts with accountability, otherwise, we cannot foster trust and compassion between communities and the brave individuals who are sworn to protect them. The disparities in our criminal justice system are real and we must do the work of building a Missouri that is fair and accountable to all of its citizens."
