Derek Chauvin

The former Kanye West, now known simply as 'Ye,' is being sued by the family of George Floyd, after Ye made comments about the man who was murdered by Minneapolis police.

Former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin has been sentenced to 22 1/2 years in prison for the murder of George Floyd.

In just over the past two weeks, the department has opened investigations of police in Louisville, Kentucky, and Minneapolis.

The defense attorney for the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd has requested a new trial, saying the court abused its discretion on several points.

The explosive case triggered worldwide protests, violence and a furious reexamination of racism and policing in the U.S.

The jury deliberated over parts of two days in a city on edge against another outbreak of unrest.

He was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter late last week.
