Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman on Friday announced murder and manslaughter charges that allege a former Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd — an act caught on video and seen around the world that sparked days of violent and destructive demonstrations across the Twin Cities.

Derek Chauvin, 44, was arrested late Friday morning and charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter four days after he pinned his knee on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes Monday at the intersection of E. 38th Street and Chicago Avenue as the unarmed and handcuffed man told him he couldn't breathe. Chauvin is being held in the Ramsey County jail. Authorities have not explained why he was booked in a jail located other than in the county where he was charged.

FReepers I posted this because it had what I've waited for all day...a mugshot

[struggle]

$500,000 bond

[Jane Long]

You’ve been waiting all day for a mugshot?

[Conserv]

With his history, Chauvin was playing with fire.

The guy never wised up.

[Morgana]

After I found out he was arrested yes. A picture says a thousand words. I want to see what his “says”.

[Jane Long]

His wife is divoring him....her attorney released a statement.

“The criminal complaint, citing the autopsy, said that Floyd did not die from strangulation but a combination of being restrained along with various underlying medical conditions including heart disease and hypertension.”

[Meatspace]

“His wife is divoring him....her attorney released a statement.”

That’s a rough day.

Not to disrupt but for the first time in quite a while not a single thread on the “Most Recent” page is about you-know-what-19.

[deport]

Well if it was that important why didn't you post the mugshot?

The divorce is only because they are trying to save any assets from the lawsuits.

That farce ran its course. Now we're on to something a little more kinetic.

[chris37]

It isn’t in any of the tv news either.

It went right out the window. No longer effective. Tossed.

[xrmusn]

SHHH!! I don’t want to hear/read what a heartless, cruel person I am.

I have an ‘existing’ condition.

(My GOV said that is ALL I have to tell you and don’t even have to tell you what it is)

I do tell ‘friends’ that stubbornness is part of it...<: <: <:

Before ‘they’ start, I do have enough sense to stay home if it is appropriae.

[chris37]

Did his mug shot end up “saying” anything?

I don’t get anything from it in particular.

do you know this or are you guessing?

[Rdct29]

Klaubutcher is the one who let this guy off the hook for excessive force. Now the rats who ran the city for years want their police department investigated by the justice department. I knew Crumb would be involved. Democrats are scum.

"I'm worried more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow."

It says a week ago I could tell people when to talk and when to shut their f-ing mouths, when to run and when to stand still. Last week I could smack you in the mouth whenever I felt like it and have a few guys standing behind me telling me how great I am. But now I'm in for a world of beatings and rapes until I'm killed. I'm a non human. My wife filed for divorce. I'm a loser.
