Derek Chauvin was not sacrificed and he did murder George Floyd. But he had a record of misconduct amd should have been put in prison years ago.
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin could face another trial for using a similar tactic that landed him in prison for the murder of George Floyd, a Black man who died after being arrested last year.
An indictment filed in a Minnesota court on Thursday alleged Chauvin held his knee on the neck and upper back of a Black 14-year-old who was lying prone, handcuffed and unresisting during an arrest in 2017. Chauvin was recently found guilty of three charges that could land him in prison for decades for kneeling on Floyd's neck as he said he couldn't breathe.
The indictment also alleges Chauvin held the 14-year-old by the throat and struck him "multiple times in the head with a flashlight."
Chauvin was charged with depriving the 14-year-old of his constitutional rights during the arrest.
