All four police officers involved in the detainment of George Floyd, who died after one of them pressed a knee into his neck for several minutes, have now been charged.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison charged former Minneapolis police officers Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng, and Tou Thao with aiding and abetting murder on Wednesday in Hennepin County Court. All three were fired after Floyd’s death in police custody.
