The three other ex-police officers involved in George Floyd's death will now face charges, while those against Derek Chauvin were upgraded
. The other three will now be charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder.
Protesters and activists have long been calling for Thao, Kueng and Lane to face criminal charges alongside Chauvin. In the video of Floyd’s death, Kueng can be seen pinning Floyd; Thao can be seen watching Chauvin hold his knee to Floyd’s neck while Floyd repeatedly states he can’t breathe; and Lane can be heard expressing some concern and asking whether Floyd should be rolled over onto his side, which Chauvin rejects.
The charges against the three other officers come one day after Minnesota Governor Tim Walz asked Ellison to take over the case from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office. They also follow the results of an, requested by lawyers for Floyd’s family, which found that Floyd died not only because Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd’s neck, but because the other officers helped hold Floyd down.
