Derek Chauvin Taken Into Custody

Fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been arrested four days after George Floyd’s fatal arrest that sparked protests, rioting and outcry across the city and nation, and Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced he has been charged with murder and manslaughter.

On Friday, John Harrington, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, announced that Chauvin was taken into custody by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Chauvin is the former officer in the video seen around the world with his knee on Floyd’s neck. He’d been with Minneapolis police for 19 years.

It was not immediately clear what the expected charges Chauvin could face are. Answers will likely be provided by Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman, as he has scheduled a press conference at 1 p.m. concerning a “major development” in the case.
On Monday at 8 p.m., Minneapolis police said officers were called to the intersection of Chicago Avenue and East 38th Street on a report of someone trying to use a forged document at Cup Foods.

Police initially said Floyd was resisting arrest and had a medical incident. However, video obtained by CBS News shows Floyd cooperating with officers, at least in the initial moments of the encounter.

A bystander’s video showed Floyd pleading that he could not breathe as a white officer — identified as Chauvin — knelt on his neck and kept his knee there for several minutes after Floyd stopped moving and became unresponsive.
Unrest spilled into St. Paul's Midway on Thursday afternoon, as looters rushed into stores and pelted police cars with rocks, bricks and liquor bottles. Officers first responded to the Target on University Avenue around 11:30 a.m. and found between 50 and 60 people grabbing merchandise off the shelves without paying, said St. Paul police spokesman Steve Linders. Many dropped the goods and ran when authorities arrived. A fight broke out in the parking lot between a pedestrian and a driver, who reportedly tried to run down the person with their car. The motorist missed and hit another vehicle. No injuries were reported. Nearby businesses, including Cub Foods and a local shoe store, also experienced property damage. Three hours later, police were still trying to get the crowd to disperse and were urging residents to stay away from affected areas near the 1400 block of University Ave, at an East Side business on the 1700 block of Suburban Ave. and more. "We're in the area trying to make sure people are safe and secure," Linders said. In a tweet, the Maplewood Police Department warned that "Due to the potential for flash looting in Maplewood, Police are urging people to avoid retail areas until further notice." St. Paul police dispatched about 40 officers to aid Minneapolis firefighters battling scattered blazes throughout the south side Wednesday night. Those officers since have returned to St. Paul. Protests over George Floyd's death continue in Minneapolis and Oakdale; looting reported at Lake Street Target Demonstrations were also held outside the homes of Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman and fired officer Derek Chauvin. Anger over the death of George Floyd spilled into the streets of Minneapolis for a second night Wednesday, as protesters lobbed rocks and bottles at police and gathered separately outside the homes of Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman and the fired officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck. A large crowd gathered outside Minneapolis’ Third Precinct police headquarters, throwing objects at the building and officers. Police deployed rubber bullets, flash bombs and tear gas to push them back.Minneapolis,Minneapolis police,Minneapolis loot,Minneapolis looting,Minneapolis news,Minneapolis update,george floyd,george floyd death,george floyd died,rip george floyd,george floyd minneapolis,george floyd passed away,Oakdale,Oakdale loot,Oakdale looting,Oakdale protest,Oakdale police,minneapolis police attack,Lake Street Target,protest,protest in oakdale,protest in minneapolis,police clash in minneapolis,police clash in oakdale #MinneapolisLooting #Floyd #Target Minneapolis,george floyd video,Minneapolis protest,minneapolis riots,floyd george,Stephen Jackson Minnesota,riots in minneapolis,minneapolis news,why was george floyd arrested,Eric Garner,george floyd death,Police brutality,Black lives matter,george floyd death video,who is george floyd,Colin Kaepernick,Minneapolis mayor,Floyd,minneapolis police video,minnesota protest,riots,George,man killed by police,minnesot
