Derek Chauvin, the main suspect in the death of a Black American George Floyd has been found guilty of all charges.

The ex-police officer filmed with his knee on George Floyd’s neck, sparking global protests against racism, has been convicted on all charges – second- and third-degree murder as well as manslaughter.

This is the first time a white police officer has been found legally responsible for the death of a black man in custody in Minnesota’s history, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.

Minnesota is no exception. Throughout the US, police officers are rarely convicted or charged over deaths in custody.
