A former Minneapolis police officer was sentenced to three-and-a-half years' imprisonment on Friday for his involvement in the killing of George Floyd.
Former Minneapolis police officers Derek Chauvin, Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J.
Kueng, 29, and fellow officer Thomas Lane helped Chauvin restrain Floyd, while another officer, Tou Thao, kept bystanders from approaching the scene. “While the family faces yet another holiday season without George, we hope that moments like these continue to bring them a measure of peace, knowing that George’s death was not in vain,” Crump said.
Demonstrations and, at times, riots erupted across Minneapolis after the incident. A disturbing video of Floyd's final minutes circulating on social media sparked demonstrations across the nation and in large cities around the globe.
