police violence

The name of Manuel Ellis is now being added to the list of black people who died in police custody, after an autopsy report ruled his death in Tacoma was a homicide. And in an echo of the George Floyd case, Ellis was heard saying he "can't breathe," as he was being restrained.

Derek Chauvin now faces an additional charge of second-degree murder, and three other former Minneapolis police officers are accused of aiding and abetting murder.

Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer involved in George Floyd's death, has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.

The Justice Department says it has made the investigation into George Floyd's death "a top priority," after furor over a video depicting a white police officer kneeling on his neck spilled over into widespread protests for a second night.

Neither Floyd's family nor Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey appear satisfied by the firing of four officers after a video depicting an officer's knee on Floyd's neck inspired national outrage this week.
