La mort de George Floyd 3 phrases Slide #1: sa mort Slide #2: La réaction ā sa mort aux Etats-Unis Slide #3: La réction dans le monde

Answer

1. Mr. Floyd was rendered unconscious and pinned down by three police officers, showing no signs of life. 2. The day after Mr. Floyd's death, the police department fired all four officers involved in the incident. On May 29th, Hennepin County prosecutor Mike Freeman announced charges of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter against Derek Chauvin, the officer seen most clearly in witness videos pinning Mr. Floyd to the ground. Mr. Chauvin, who is white, kept his knee on Mr. Floyd's neck for at least eight minutes and 15 seconds, according to a Times analysis of time-stamped video. Our video investigation shows that Mr. Chauvin did not remove his knee even after Mr. Floyd lost consciousness, and for a minute and 20 seconds after ambulance personnel arrived on the scene. 3. By combining bystander videos and security camera footage, examining official documents, and consulting with experts, The New York Times has reconstructed in detail the minutes leading up to Mr. Floyd's death.
