From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was murdered in the U.S. city of Minneapolis by Derek Chauvin, a 44-year-old white police officer.[4] Floyd had been arrested on suspicion of using a counterfeit $20 bill. Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for over nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face-down in a street.[5][6][7] Two other police officers, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane, assisted Chauvin in restraining Floyd. Lane had also pointed a gun at Floyd's head prior to Floyd being put in handcuffs.[8] A fourth police officer, Tou Thao, prevented bystanders from intervening.[9]

Prior to being placed on the ground, Floyd had exhibited signs of anxiety, complaining about having claustrophobia, and being unable to breathe.[10] After being restrained, he became more distressed, still complaining of breathing difficulties, of the knee on his neck, and of fear of imminent death.[5] After several minutes, Floyd stopped speaking.[5] For the last few minutes, he lay motionless and Officer Kueng found no pulse when urged to check.[11][12] Despite this, Chauvin ignored pleas from bystanders to lift his knee from Floyd's neck.[13]
The following day, after videos made by witnesses and security cameras became public, all four officers were fired.[14] Two autopsies, and one autopsy review, found Floyd's death to be a homicide.[15][16] On March 12, 2021, Minneapolis agreed to pay $27 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Floyd's family. On April 20, Chauvin was convicted of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter,[3][17] and sentenced to 22.5 years in prison on June 25.[18] All four officers faced federal civil rights charges.[19] In December 2021, Chauvin pled guilty to federal charges of violating Floyd's civil rights by using unreasonable force and ignoring his serious medical distress.[20][21] The other three officers were also later convicted of violating Floyd's civil rights,[22] and are scheduled to be tried on state charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder on June 13, 2022.[23][24]
Floyd's murder led to worldwide protests against police brutality, police racism, and lack of police accountability.[25][26]
