Derek Chauvin charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter as county prosecutor suggests additional charges may be brought

Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer captured on video kneeling on the neck of 46-year-old George Floyd as he begged for his life, has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.

“There may be subsequent charges later,” Mike Freeman, the lead prosecutor for Hennepin county, told reporters at a press conference. He said a detailed complaint would be made available on Friday afternoon.

The state’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension took Chauvin into custody, but did not specify where the 19-year veteran is being held.

The charges came as Andrea Jenkins, the city council vice-president, said Floyd and Chauvin knew each other as “co-workers for a very long time”. The men reportedly worked together for more than 17 years as bouncers at a local Latin club.

So long, it's been good to know you.
 
So much more is on the way in this case, additional charges and additional arrests. All warranted.

Wait, they knew each other and worked together for 17 years?? That makes the cops actions even more bizare.

First degree murder
 
Swift in bringing charges. Shameful that the Democrat leadership allowed the town to be burned and destroyed because of their failure to stop the entirely predictable thuggery.

Democrats in leadership positions always allow protest to get out of hand.

Democrats WANT everything to get out of hand so that they can pretend a solution involving more gov't control and taxes is the cure.
 
If the finale arbiter is rational, he should walk.
 
I am interested to see what new evidence the county prosecutor came up with after stating in yesterday’s presser that there was evidence that this was not a criminal act.
 
This is what you get when you let Fascism and White Supremacy run amok in the foreign and domestic policy of an authoritarian police state like Fascist America.
