Rev. Al Sharpton claimed the three former Minneapolis police officers charged in connection to George Floyd‘s death are “guilty” during a Sunday rally commemorating the nearly one-year anniversary of the 42-year-old black man’s death.

Sharpton, who spoke alongside civil rights attorney Ben Crump and Floyd’s sister Bridgett Floyd, among others, insisted that protesters should be present at the sentencing of Derek Chauvin, the disgraced officer who was found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. The reverend also called on the crowd to rekindle demonstrations ahead of the trial of J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane, and Tou Thao, who have all been jailed for allegedly aiding and abetting the killing of Floyd.
