The former Minneapolis police officer seen in a video with his knee on George Floyd's neck has been arrested and faces charges of third-degree murder and manslaughter, according to Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman.
The officer, Derek Chauvin, was taken into custody Friday by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety John Harrington said in a news conference.
"The investigation is ongoing," Freeman said, adding that he anticipated charges against the other three officers involved in the incident.
"We entrust our police officers to use certain amounts of force to do their job to protect us. They commit a criminal act if they use this force unreasonably," he said.

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."

Better


We hope this doesn't recur.

But the hatred these breed have for us just because of our skin colour is unfathomable.

But here, they are worshipped more than the monarchs.

It is well with the blacks.

Protesters at his home

Indeed evil hides behind those badges,even our Nigerian policemen are not left out.
Two yrs ago I accompanied a neighbor to bail her yngr bro.You need to see how a police man fondled a lady's breast DAT night,all because she was amongst the runs gals arrested..Last last I'm sure she will make bail with her body.

Good news

hmm
Am glad black Americans never gave up their quest to find justice
left for trump, there is nothing abnormal with the killing.

if d guy was a Nigerian, u will see people here trying to justify his killing based on "we have tarnished our image" things

I pity those who support injustice because it's being meted out on someone who is not from their tribe

karma remembers.

America is not as great as I thought

Blacks should stop worshiping whites.

Let them pin him down and place legs on his throat too

Third degree murder charge and manslaughter not First degree murder. The criminal will get less than 30 years jail term. The prosecution isn't serious.

As for you the stupid radical right wing hypocrite who uses God's name in vain, your crooked comments are appalling.

There are issues such as statue that that police will rely on.. So sad

I knew he was going to be charged for third degree murder /manslaughter...



many Americans are still not satisfied with the charge... they want first or second degree murder charge....


but personally I think 3rd degree is fair enough
