Derek Chauvin – Minneapolis Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In May 2020, Officer Derek Chauvin was involved in the death of George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for over nine minutes during an arrest. This act led to nationwide protests and significant scrutiny of police practices. Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslaughter charges and is currently serving a prison sentence. Additionally, the city of Minneapolis has paid over $36 million in settlements related to Chauvin’s misconduct, including $27 million to the Floyd family and $600,000 to Patty Day, who alleged excessive force by Chauvin in a separate 2020 incident.
