The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the killing of George Floyd
Attorney General William Barr announced Friday that the Justice Department, including the FBI, is investigating the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died after a white police officer knelt on his neck for eight minutes.
Barr said in a statement Friday that a state prosecutor "has been in the process of determining whether any criminal charges are appropriate under state law." Barr said in his statement that state and federal officers "are working diligently and collaboratively to ensure that any available evidence relevant to these decisions is obtained as quickly as possible.""Under our system, charging decisions must be, and will be, based on the law and facts," the statement said. "This process is proceeding quickly. As is the typical practice, the state's charging decisions will be made first. I am confident justice will be served.
Osler continued: "Usually what you're going to see is the state make the case for murder, and then if they fail, the feds would step in."
