Before introducing the police reform bill, Bass, Hoyer, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Sens. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris and other top Democrats gathered in the Capitol in silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, the amount of time an officer knelt of Floyd's neck. The Democrats, all clad in kente stoles, knelt together on the floor to honor Floyd and other black Americans killed by police.
A wave of protests swept the nation in the days after a video surfaced showing a white Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, pinning Floyd to the ground with his knee on Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. Floyd lost consciousness and was later pronounced dead. Chauvin, who has been charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter, will make his first court appearance Monday.
