The previous Minneapolis policeman who knelt on the neck of George Floyd during the event which resulted in his death is now facing a charge of second-degree unintended murder.
Bottom line:
- Mr Floyd’s family say Derek Chauvin must be charged with first-degree murder
- Mr Chauvin knelt on Mr Floyd’s neck for around 8 minutes
- The three other officers involved were fired however were not immediately charged
Derek Chauvin had actually formerly been charged with third-degree murder and
