Prosecutors are upgrading the charges against Minneapolis police officer accused of pressing his knee against George Floyd’s neck to second-degree murder, and will level charges against three other officers at the scene, a newspaper reported.
Floyd’s family and protesters have repeatedly called for criminal charges against all four officers as well as more serious charges for Chauvin, who held his knee to Floyd’s neck, despite his protests that he couldn’t breathe, and stayed there even after Floyd stopped moving. Floyd, a black man, was in handcuffs when he died with his face pressed to the street.“He died because he was starving for air,” Ben Crump said. “He needed a breath. So we are demanding justice.
Crump pointed to the criminal complaint against Chauvin, which said that while Floyd was complaining he couldn’t breathe, Lane asked Chauvin twice if they should roll him on his side. Chauvin said they should keep him on his stomach.“To us that is intent,” Crump said. And he said the other officers were complicit because they failed to take action.Personnel records released by the city show Chauvin served as a military policeman in the U.S. Army in the late 1990s.
Lane previously worked as a correctional officer at the Hennepin County juvenile jail and as a probation officer at a residential treatment facility for adolescent boys.
