Chauvin was among the four officers involved in Floyd's violent arrest that has since spurred days of protests in Minnesota's largest city.In this Monday, May 25, 2020, frame from video provided by Darnella Frazier, a Minneapolis officer kneels on the neck of a handcuffed man who was pleading that he could not breathe in Minneapolis. Four Minneapolis officers involved in the arrest of a George Floyd who died in police custody were fired Tuesday.
Before the specific charges were announced, Ben Crump, an attorney for Floyd's family, called the arrest "a step on the road to justice." Floyd's death has prompted calls from local and national figures for Chauvin's prosecution, and a federal investigation led by the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
He is being scapegoated. Application of the criminal justice leaves the onus totally in d hands of law enforcers who applies it racially.
Death penalty
Excellent
Now the 3 other non-white cops.
Let’s not call him a former officer, he was a pig
Wondering if in the end he will be convicted for murder...
A Louisiana police officer called the police custody death of George Floyd a 'common mistake and poor technique' and 'not murder'...another one that needs to go cause with that attitude I can see another victim soon! GeorgeFloyd GeorgeFloydprotest GeorgeFloydWasMurdered
Just because he’s been arrested doesn’t mean anything, keep that same energy it’s time for a permanent change there’s still 3 officers that need to be arrested.
Slap on the wrist for him as always with the other's
It was NOT third degree... it was 100% 2nd degree. That was, like every other case against a black man, an intentional assault meant to do harm. I already see the BS arguments for emotional or mental stress like. LETS NOT FORTET THE VICTIM HERE WAS GEORGE FLOYD.
Only charged him with murder in the third degree. He’ll be locked up for a MAX of 25 years.
Lock Him Up! Lock Him Up! Lock Him Up! BlackLivesMatter .
Good!
This should have happened the minute the video surfaced. There are tons of people whom have been arrested for less evidence.
“It took everything he had to get the words out, to push enough air out of his lungs to produce the words, hoping that the officer would hear him and care enough to lift up his knee.” Read more at
It’s hate crime
NOOOO hes being protected ...lol ...
Murder is an overcharge. He didn't intend to kill him, so they should charge him with manslaughter.
Three more to go.
