The former Minneapolis police officer seen in a video with his knee on George Floyd’s neck before the unarmed black man died this week was taken into custody Friday by state authorities, according to John Harrington, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
The officer, Derek Chauvin, was taken into custody by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension as fires continued to burn from violent protests overnight as demonstrators demanded justice for Floyd.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pleaded for order Friday morning following a night of fiery unrest as protesters demanded justice for George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died this week after Minneapolis officers arrested him.
