Scottsdale Councilman Guy Phillips uttered the remark at a protest Wednesday but later insisted the comment was about mandatory masks and not police misconduct. The final words of George Floyd should NEVER be invoked like this. Mayors around the state have issued similar mandatory mask policies in response to the spike in COVID-19 cases in Arizona. Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone also condemned Phillips’ remark, calling the councilman a disgrace, KPHO-TV reported. Councilman Phillips, you are a disgrace,” Penzone said.
