All four police officers involved in George Floyd's death now face charges | FULL PRESS CONFERENCE

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) has upgraded the charge against Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who knelt on George Floyd's neck for more than eight minutes shortly before Floyd died, to second-degree murder. Ellison also charged Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane — the other officers who were at the scene of Floyd's death — with aiding and abetting second-degree murder Wednesday afternoon at a press conference. Chauvin was initially arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter on Friday by the Hennepin County attorney's office. Both the Hennepin County medical examiner and an independent examiner hired by Floyd's family ruled Floyd's death a homicide. Over the weekend, Gov. Tim Walz switched control of the case to Ellison, which gave him the ability to strengthen the charges. Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D) supported Ellison’s move, calling it “another important step for justice.” You can read more here: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-wa...
