8 Minutes and 46 Seconds: How George Floyd Was Killed in Police Custody
All four former officers involved in George Floyd's killing now face charges of second-degree murder.
Police confirmed the complaints were filed but didn't detail why they were filed or what they entailed.
Floyd family statement The family of George Floyd is calling for an upgrade in the criminal charges against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, from 3rd degree murder to 1st degree murder.
The family also is calling for charges against the other officers at the scene when a handcuffed Floyd begged for his life as Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck.
“We call on authorities to revise the charges to reflect the true culpability of this officer,” the family statement reads. Later in the statement, the family says, “For four officers to inflict this kind of unnecessary, lethal force – or watch it happen – despite outcry from witnesses who were recording the violence – demonstrates a breakdown in training and policy by the City.”
“Today,” the statement says, “George Floyd’s family is having to explain to his children why their father was executed by police on video.”
See the entire family statement, released by attorney Benjamin Crump, below.
This morning after protesters set fire overnight to a Minneapolis police station, Chauvin was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. The key to an upgrade in charges revolves around a determination of Chauvin’s intent and premeditation to cause Floyd’s death.
In footage of Floyd’s arrest, Floyd pleaded to Chauvin as the officer pressed his knee against Floyd’s neck. Floyd screamed, “I can’t breathe!” before he died.
County prosecutor Mike Freeman spoke out on Friday, revealing that Chauvin, whom he called “the most dangerous” officer, had been charged with manslaughter and third degree murder. Freeman said that the case was moving along very swiftly and that the other three former officers are under investigation.
The third night of protests, which sometimes turned violent, saw demonstrations spread beyond Minneapolis.
On Thursday night, New York City police arrested 72 people during a protest that began in Manhattan’s Union Square; five people were charged with assaulting officers with street debris. “We didn’t expect this,” Chief Terence A. Monahan said Friday morning in a radio interview. We didn’t expect them to be so confrontational and right off the bat charging police officers and pushing police officers.”
In Los Angles on Thursday, for the second night in a row, a small group, some shouting expletives directed at police, gathered outside the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters. They chanted “we want justice” and “black lives matter.”
On Friday, the LAPD released a statement that affirmed protesters’ First Amendment rights but also contained a warning:
The violence involved dangerous projectiles directed at our people as well as some property damage to businesses in the area. While isolated, if left unchallenged we face the potential of those actions expanding and hurting innocent individuals. This Department will continue to facilitate spontaneous and planned protests. However, dangerous behavior will not be allowed, and the LAPD will take enforcement action on anyone who endanger fellow peaceful protestors, police officers, and the general public.
Chief Moore stated, “We stand with our communities and rebuke any instance of police brutality as well as acts of violence or property damage.”
Finally, in Minneapolis demonstrators set fire to a police building that had been abandoned by officers, after which CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez and his crew were arrested.
Minnesota governor Tim Walz apologized on Friday morning before saying, “None of us can tackle these problems, if anarchy reigns on the street”
