The police officer involved in George Floyd’s death has a history of conduct complaints
Chauvin joined the Minneapolis Police Academy in 2001 and has been the subject of at least 12 complaints, which cover use-of-force incidents as well as a lawsuit over the alleged violation of a prisoner’s constitutional rights.
Mylan Masson, a retired officer and training expert, called the 12 complaints against Chauvin over a two-decade period “a little bit higher than normal.” But she did note that anyone can file a complaint against an officer for any reason, and that officers that deal with the public frequently have more complaints .
According to records, Chauvin has been involved in multiple shootings over the course of his career. In 2006, he and five other officers responded to a stabbing that led to a chase with the alleged suspect, Wayne Reyes. Reyes allegedly got out of his truck at one point with a shotgun, at which point “several officers fired multiple shots,” killing Reyes.
