In this file photo taken on June 19, 2020 protesters march across the Brooklyn Bridge over the death of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police during a Juneteenth rally in New York. Nine months after George Floyd’s death laid bare the racial wounds in the United States, the white policeman charged with murdering the 46-year-old Black man is going on trial.
Chauvin’s case promises to be extraordinary in many respects: it will feature star attorneys, be held under tight security and broadcast live. Ashley Heiberger, a former police officer who now works as an advisor on police practices, said “the fact that a police officer has been charged criminally for an abusive use of force, that in and of itself is an outlier.”
Three other police officers involved in Floyd’s arrest — Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao — face lesser charges and will be tried separately.Floyd’s arrest was prompted by accusations that he had tried to pass off a $20 bill in a nearby store.Chauvin, a 19-year veteran of the force, was released from prison on bail in the fall and is expected to plead not guilty to murder and manslaughter charges.
“They’re going to call George everything but a child of God, and try to make you forget what you see on that video,” he said. The authorities have mobilized thousands of police officers and members of the National Guard to provide security during the trial.
