Derek Chauvin, the former police officer charged with second-degree murder in the killing of George Floyd, is facing bail of up to $1.25 million
A Hennepin County, Minn., judge set bail of $1.25 million without conditions and of $1 million with conditions, according to court records. The conditions for the $1 million bail include not leaving the state without court approval, no contact with Mr. Floyd's family, the surrender of any firearms and a prohibition on working as a police officer or security guard, according to the records.
Campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said Monday that the former vice president “hears and shares the deep grief and frustration of those calling out for change,” and would seek “transformative change to our criminal justice system.” But added, "As his criminal justice proposal made clear months ago, Vice President Biden does not believe that police should be defunded."
"It's history," said Tanya Forte, 53, who didn't know Mr. Floyd, but lined up with her friend two hours before a public church viewing of Mr. Floyd began. She said she wanted to teach her daughters that "when something like this happens in America, participate and show up, because it could have been any of us."
Earl Joseph, 43, who attended high school with Mr. Floyd, had only moments in front of the casket to remember his classmate and neighbor as "a gentle giant.” He considered the upperclassman a role model in basketball and football.
