Three former Minneapolis police officers have been convicted of violating GeorgeFloyd's civil rights.
Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane were charged with depriving Floyd of his right to medical care when Officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck for 9 1/2 minutes as the 46-year-old Black man was handcuffed and facedown on the street on May 25, 2020.The videotaped killing sparked protests in Minneapolis that spread around the globe as part of reckoning over racial injustice.
The jury’s verdict comes after two days of deliberations in the case against Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane. It will be read soon. The defense said their training was inadequate and that the officers deferred to Chauvin as the senior officer at the scene.
