Premier John Horgan says he was horrified to see what happened to George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck.
Horgan told a media briefing today that the province strives to make sure police treat everyone equally, but he acknowledged there have been issues in B.C.
The premier says despite attempts to address it, racism exists in the province.
He's encouraging those who want to join anti-racism protests in B.C. to follow physical distancing rules and wear a mask so they don't potentially expose others to COVID-19.
