Minneapolis The former Minneapolis police officer seen in a video with his knee on George Floyd's neck before the unarmed black man died this week was taken into custody Friday by state authorities, according to John Harrington, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
The officer, Derek Chauvin, was taken into custody by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension as fires continued to burn from violent protests overnight as demonstrators demanded justice for Floyd. "At this point we do not have any further information on charging decisions," Harrington said at a news conference."That will be coming from the county attorney, but we did want to let you know that he is in custody.
He was taken into custody for his own protection.
Protest in East San Jose has pre-empted national news at 3:30 p.m. my time
Good,we will not stand for this violence!
One down, three more to go!!!!!
Idiot
dixon_sports How many times has he done something like this before but it was only “minor injuries”?
MinneapolisPD FBIMinneapolis this is 1st degree murder & everyone knows it. George Floyd plead for his life. He said multiple times he couldn’t breathe. The officer continued minute after minute to apply deadly excessive pressure on the airways of this man resulting in death
*Black man* Having shades of racism allover your tweet
Thankfully the Minnesota Police did the right thing today. America needs to learn from their mistake the first time not the 200th time. Nobody has the Balls to do the right thing. Why is that? Political Collusion, $$$$, or just wanting to keep everyone happy, except for the DEAD
About Time !
There is no justice until he and the others involved are convicted. The arrest is a step in the right direction, but until they are found culpable it is just a move to placate.
When we discipline our children we do it with love; when America discipline her children of color she does it with hatred...
Does “taken into custody mean arrested? Charged? GeorgeFloydWasMurdered
Where’s his perp walk pic?
He knew George Floyd he murdered George Floyd and he better be charged accordingly
Took them long enough
Now let’s get the other 3

Four officers were fired this week after a video of the incident went viral. sarasidnerCNN is on the scene at a protest. sarasidnerCNN Not sure of MinneapolisPD protocol, but do we as a police force efficiently drag someone to a car 100 feet away or do we efficiently use the cop car that was 10 feet away? Please see leaked video on clearnet. sarasidnerCNN So they been fired..... has that solve anything, they deserve to be killed North Korean style sarasidnerCNN Thanks media, this is what you wanted.
