MINNEAPOLIS - The white former Minneapolis police officer shown in video footage using his knee to pin an unarmed black man’s neck to the street was charged with murder on Friday in the man’s death, an incident that has unleashed four nights of violent protests.
Authorities had hoped Chauvin’s arrest would allay public anger and avert continued unrest. But defying an 8 p.m. curfew imposed by the mayor, about 500 demonstrators clashed anew Friday evening with riot police outside the battered Third Precinct building. After several minutes, Floyd gradually grows unresponsive and ceases to move. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital a short time later.
Freeman said the investigation into Chauvin, who faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted, was ongoing and he anticipated also charging the three other officers, identified by the city as Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J Alexander Kueng. Mike Griffin, a community organizer in Minneapolis, said the protests reflected years of frustration over economic inequalities and the feeling that black lives were not valued as highly by police.

Minneapolis cop who knelt on man's neck charged with murderThe white Minneapolis police officer seen on video kneeling on George Floyd’s neck and arrested on murder charges is accused in court papers of ignoring another officer who was worried about the handcuffed black man who pleaded that he could not breathe. The best news I have heard! 👏👏👏 The other officer could have done something to stop the murder. Arrest his ass too. Therefore that makes it intent to kill! So why is this only manslaughter? That's right, white privilege.
