It’s been more than a week since protests began in response to the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis after he was arrested for allegedly trying to use a counterfet $20 bill.
Cell phone video showed white police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck as he lay handcuffed on the ground, pleading ‘I can’t breathe.’
Three other police officers stood by as his life ebbed away.
On Wednesday, those officers were arrested and charged with aiding and betting second-degree murder while Chauvin, already facing charges of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, was also charged with second-degree murder.
