A police union boss in Chicago threatened to remove officers who take a knee with protesters during unrest following the death of George Floyd last month.

John Catanzara, head of the Fraternal Order of Police Chicago Lodge 7, sent a warning after officers around the country in uniform were seen kneeling to support calls to reform police departments.
