What we know about the four ex-police officers charged in George Floyd's death

One of the officers had been on the job four days. One was on his third shift ever. And Derek Chauvin, who pressed his knee into George Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes, was the field training officer for one of them.

Chauvin, J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao were responding to a call about a $20 counterfeit bill on May 25 when they detained Floyd, who died while in custody. The four officers were fired and are now facing charges in Floyd's death. Here's what we know about their role in Floyd's arrest as well as their lives before and while they were on the force, based on their personnel files.

The first isn't Derek Chauvin, but Thomas Lane!?

Thanks for the tidbit - '(Kueng) listed that he can speak, read and write Russian.'

let's say a brand new nurse on day 4 training observes the seasoned nurse inject a lethal dose and patient stops breathing, and they fail to start CPR,( no DNR), she will be negligent coz she failed to act as a prudent nurse. Substitute any profession remains true.

What do we know about the 19 murders. That took place during these riots. NOTHING TO SEE THERE MOVE ALONG FAKE CHINA NEWS NETWORK=CNN

In addition to racism, I suspect Chauvin suffered from learning disabilities. Maybe cops need to undergo IQ test before hired.

Some of those that work forces. Are the same that burn crosses. Some of those that hold office. Burn crosses::₩₩₩:₩:::::!+£+!

Smh. 21st century and America is still practicing racism. Shame on you. 🤦‍♂️

Regardless of how long you were the cop, all had radios ! If the four that were on scene had no control and the actions of the lead officer became questionable.....8 minutes is a long time to call a supervisor !

I know there is always another side to a story one with a violent history is involved although both sidesCANbe totally wrong.I been mugged at gunpoint for purse,beat on head for purse,hands on neck for purse,slandered for calling cops etc. ETC. all in various cities.Justice

Lock them

Please, sit down. BlackLivesMatter ICantBreath georgefloydfuneral

In the Netherlands cops that kill are heavily shielded from publicity and are called by a number in the court proceedings.

I think. The only solution to return peace to the United States is to bring the justice for four police officers who accused of killing Mr. Floyd. They must be sentenced to death penalty

Let the two rookies go. They are stuck in the system.

Training day much like wtf

Like we can your investigative journalism 😅😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

I need a follow me and I will follow you back🤙

I don’t see every cnn tweet but did they do the same for the victim? The guy who was incarcerated multiple times including 5 years for armed robbery of a pregnant lady in her home. The meth and fentanyl that he had in his system. asking For a friend?

A bunch of sick killers named human, powered by sick government. Separate the United States. We want to make our independent country without United States flag.

This men should be giving same sentence they gave floyd JusticeForFloyd

Fine man, right realDonaldTrump

Kind of sad but not really sad. Thanks CNN

2nd degree and accessory to 2nd degree is kinda a stretch. Unless the jury is intimidated by the media I would be surprised if anyone was convicted. Or is that the point

I hope this isn't some kind of photo op, I know how, What I said sounds!

Interesting insight here..

Real?

none of these are chauvin. we can see. cnnfakenews.

The fact that two new dudes were there may explain why the most senior officer acted so poorly while restraining the victim.

The faces of democracy lost

Do not call them police officers. They do not deserve that. They are murderers period!

Will this info being in the public domain jeopardise a trial? Or give grounds for appeal? USlaw

Imagine if there was no video... what would have those trainees learned that day? It's a fucking horror to think about. But we need to!! We need change!! BlackLivesMatter

Prisoner orange is their color!

Not sure what the point is, . Are you trying to defend them in some way? Everyone in America (shy these 4 and their lawyers) agree they should be in prison. Are you just trying to cause more strife?

so the riots gonna stop now? y’all got justice.

Floyd's death shows we are still along way from learning how to treat esch other with dignity as humans.

What they did previously is irrelevant...they are murderers, and complicit in murder

Criminal Justice is criminal and not justice, the people that do everyday forget the TRUTH THAT THEY ARE THERE TO UPHOLD THE LAW, not to advance a career, clear a docket, or promote an agenda. The problem is over worked cops and overcrowded courtrooms.

Keep the murderers in a cage. BlackLivesMatter WeAreLegion

they are scum....

This is diversity in action! Cooperating to make the world a better place. I have the feeling this photo has had its output histogram adjusted so everyone looks just a tad* lighter.

G. Floyd 5/25 Man I can't breathe Today I'm going to die Help me somebody, please I don't want to die All this for twenty dollars A man, a father, a brother, a human life cut short The homicide of George Floyd Military deployed President photo op Using the Holy Bible as prop

Prison is going to be so hard. I don’t care.

Read up on felony murder laws. If you are any way involved in it you get charged and locked away even siting in a car.

Here’s what we know about CNN. Fake News.

Hi! Wondering if I could get an article about what we know about George Floyd and his life before he was murdered. I want that content, too.

I was thinking that they might try to use the 'I didn't know, I was just following my TO's orders' defense, but the 'duty to intervene' is taught before a cadet touches the street, I'm sure

Tina__Redd For some reason I don’t believe this is your friend shop and nothing more than a deflection

Not enoug. There are more violent policemen and soldiers on the street！ BlackLivesMatter

I can't believe the people saying its all a joke, a fake set up. All because they're not all white. JFC you really can't change stupid.

Ugly sneaks. Tasers are as small as a ring. Pushing it to someone's side will release electricity. That's why they threw him in SUV too. The atty general really needs to step up his game. Cops are torturous murderers. Check the video closely. He was being tased by those...

Let them rot n jail
