National Urban League CEO and president Marc Morial joined "America’s News HQ" and addressed George Floyd's death, saying the other three officers involved in his death who have not been charged should be arrested.

"I believe the other three officers should have been arrested. They should be detained, and it's not explicable to me as to why there have been no charges nor an arrest with respect to those three officers," Morial said Sunday.

“No one does big things by themselves. Right now, when people are scared, it’s easy to be cynical and say let me just look out for myself, or my family, or people who look or think or pray like me.
