In the statement rendered by the Minnesota State Court in the country, it was noted that police officer Derek Chauvin (44), who caused his death by pressing his neck with his knee for 8 minutes while detaining George Floyd, was released on bail.
A bond was posted for Chauvin, confirming that the $ 1 million bond for his conditional release from his prison in Oak Park Heights, where he had been detained since May, was guaranteed by the organization called “Allegheny Casualty Company.”
Three of the 4 officers found guilty of Floyd’s death had previously been released pending trial, posting bail of $ 750,000.
After Derek Chauvin was released on bail, all of the police officers tried in Floyd’s trial were released.
Chauvin and 3 other police officers, who are also charged with second degree murder, are expected to appear before the judge in March 2021.
DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD
When Floyd, 46, a black American, was arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25 on suspicion of fraud, police officer Derek Chauvin pleaded for minutes, “I can’t breathe,” because he pressed his neck with the knee for a long time.
Floyd died at the hospital where he was taken by emergency medical teams that came to the scene, and the images about the incident generated a great reaction on social networks.
The images sparked debates about police violence against blacks in the country and protests spread across the country from Minneapolis, where the events began.
