Derek Chauvin was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter after enough evidence was gathered to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said on Friday.The charges come after three days of protests, whichMinneapolis officer Derek Chauvin knelt on the neck of George Floyd, a handcuffed man who was pleading that he could not breathe.
A video of the incident showed Mr Floyd being pinned to the ground by Chauvin, who knelt on his neck for more than 10 minutes.Another video shot from a different angle showed multiple officers were on the ground with Floyd as he was arrested. Minnesota Attorney-General Keith Ellison said earlier on Friday that he expected charges would be laid against all four officers involved.
“I anticipate there will be charges. I hope they’re soon. But that is the prerogative of another prosecuting authority,” he told“They are trying to be careful. They are trying to make sure their case is strong and airtight. “Everybody believes that this is a violation of Mr Floyd. And I believe that everybody wants to see these charges filed as soon as they can be. But again, I do want to say we have seen cases that seem so clear go south.”
That’s what u get for big a red neck JusticeForGeorgeFlyod
Still walk away... Along with the other 3 dirt officer 👊🏾👊🏾🖕🏻🖕🏻
George Floyd and Derek Chauvin once worked overlapping security shifts at the same nightclub
Let the redneck rot in hell
So he is arrested. Is the rioter who shot and killed another rioter arrested yet? Are the people stealing, setting cars on fire, throwing bricks at pollice officers, spiiting at people, attacking people arrested yet. I say bring out the army to help the police; and fire at will.
Just the start of the process towards justice!
Excellent! As he should be!
About time!
I’m sure he will not face jail time! Rodney King all over again
Fake news, America is always great
A) he knew the victim, and worked with him; B) his neighbors didn’t know he worked as a cop .... C) the cop was on the scene at the Boston bombing.... so much smells like Soros about this, it’s unreal (literally)
What about the other two cops behind the car holding him down? They should be charged too. And the cop standing up telling people to back off should be charged as well.
The law should be equal to everyone⚖️
Also, this.
And so he should with all the other complaints investigated and charged against him
A bit late. Damage done. nytimes minneapolisriots
When he was arrested, did they make sure to kneel on his throat for 8 minutes?
