"Все 10 членов спецназа в полицейском управлении Hallandale Beach подали в отставку в пятницу в ответ на то, что их начальник полиции встал на колени рядом с протестующими в начале этой недели."
"The risk of carrying out our duties in this capacity is no longer acceptable to us and our families," the memo reads. "The anguish and stress of knowing that what we may be lawfully called upon to do in today's political climate combined with the team's current situation and several recent local events, leaves us in a position that is untenable."
In 2014, the Hallandale Beach SWAT team killed 34-year-old Howard Bowe as he stood, unarmed, in his kitchen. Officers, who were executing a pre-dawn search warrant as part of a drug investigation, also killed his dog.
