From ABC News, I’m Daria Albinger. It’s
been nine days since George Floyd
died while in the custody of Minneapolis police officers. Today all four of
the-now-former officers face criminal charges and an officer who had already
been charged facing an even more serious offence. “Former Minneapolis police
officer Derek Chauvin facing a new
charge of second-degree murder for the death of George Floyd. ‘For second-degree
felony murder, you have to intend the felony and then death be the result
without necessarily having it be the intent.’ Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison
is also announcing the three other officers are charged with aiding and abetting
murder in the second-degree. ‘I strongly believe that these developments are in
the interest of justice for Mr. Floyd, his family, our community and our state.’
I would admit winning a conviction is going to be hard. Ryan Burrow, ABC News, Minneapolis.”

The reaction to the charge is coming from near and far. These protesters are in
Manhattan. “Black lives matter, too, and it’s been too long, but we’ve been murdered
in the street. We’re dead tired. We can’t keep doing this.” The cities across
the nation are preparing for another night of protest. New York City Mayor De Blasio says an earlier curfew, which
will take effect again tonight at 8:00 p.m., resulted in less looting last
night.

President Trump doesn’t have a plan as of yet to reform policing in the U.S. Press

that front just yet.” The former President, Obama, says reforms that were proposed
after the death of Michael Brown can
build trust and save lives. The former president urging mayors across the
country to review the use of force policies in their community.
