and manslaughter after he snuffed out a man’s life instead just arresting him like a normal police officer should. His three co-workers will be facing charges as well.
MINNEAPOLIS – Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s murder charge has been upgraded to second-degree murder in the death of George Floyd. Prosecutors are also charging three other officers involved with aiding and abetting murder.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison increased the third-degree murder charge against Derek Chauvin to second-degree murder, it was announced Wednesday. In addition, the three officers who video shows participated in Floyd’s murder – Tou Thao, Alexander Kueng, and Thomas Lane are now facing charges.
The four officers were immediately fired from their jobs. It took some time before Chavin was arrested and even longer for authorities to charge the other three officers. To complicate matters, a Hennepin county medical examiner’s autopsy declared Floyd’s death was caused by factors other than asphyxiation, while a second autopsy authorized by Floyd’s family found he died from asphyxiation.

Meanwhile 18 black murders in Chicago and 50,000 black babies aborted this month.
A. N. D. No one cares !!! The hypocrisy is overwhelming. It’s NOT about black lives or anybody’s lives. It’s about an agenda. A Marxist communist agenda
Drunk again eh? Only 6 in the morning? Seek help.
And it does sound like those protests will continue until there is police reform. Which will happen. One of those demands, each city has there own unique demands, is that a policeman who shoots someone has the gun taken away. No work till case is resolved. Also, no police responding to a mentally ill incident unless there’s a gun. A new form agency will handle it. Imagine 2 weeks of this across the nation. Just enough time for Coronie to double back and reap havoc. Online school till 2021 is best. Oh yeah, this guy is a murderer. The End.
Big mistake by the prosecution.
