The LAPD launched an internal investigation after an officer reported that a photo of George Floyd with the words 'You take my breath away' in a Valentine-like format was circulated among officers, according to a newspaper report. Moore said on Feb 12, 2021, that investigators will try to determine how the image may have come into the workplace and who may have been involved, the Los Angeles Times reported. — AP

The twisted holiday image includes a photo of George Floyd, who died in May when Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck, and the caption “You take my breath away”, the Los Angeles Times reported.
