The Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on the neck of George Floyd for nearly nine minutes will now be charged with second-degree murder, while his three colleagues will also face charges, court documents show

The death of Mr Floyd has ignited protests across the United States over systemic racism and police brutality.

The statement, issued by family attorney Ben Crump, also said that Mr Ellison would consider elevating the charge to premeditated murder "if the evidence supports it."Tens of thousands of demonstrators defied night-time curfews yesterday in several US cities. In Washington, DC, protests were held near the park where demonstrators were cleared out by police on Monday to make a path for President Donald Trump so he could walk from the White House to a historic church for a photo.
