News Summary<\/p>\n
The Attorney General of George Floyd’s family known as Ben Crump, asserts that the deceased’s family requires outgoing Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin to be convicted with first-degree killing. The court had previously charged the victim with third-degree murder, whereby Crump considers it not constitutional and fair. There was so much evidence already given to dispute for the first-degree verdict (Crump, 2020). Crump says that the eight-minute footage and recently released audio provide proof to why they would argue. The family attorney asserts that charges against that policeman should get upgraded proposing premeditation, “Hopefully upgrading these charges to first-degree murder since we believe he recognized who George Floyd was” (Crump, 2020). He asserted, “The club owner has informed his family that Derek Chauvin was an off duty police officer whereas the deceased was a security guard, and so they had to overlap.” It shows the possibility that George and the police officer knew each other.<\/p>\n
The Attorney General continues by saying that he had talked to Floyd’s family. He could not imagine how the family felt seeing Floyd begging the police and saying he could not breathe not for only one minute but eight. Crump says that the protest that was taking place resulted from Americans being unheard of for so long and needed equal justice. He says that they need the constitution because they are also Americans, and that’s why people are protesting all over America. Lastly, Crump talked about Floyd’s wellbeing and a protection strategy to disputes made to disregard the assertion that George’s demise resulted from the police officer’s reckless behavior.<\/p>\n
