The dismissed police officer who killed George Floyd in Minneapolis was arrested after a typical delay. He had suffocated the 46-year-old African-American, immobilizing him on the ground for a while with his knee in the neck.
Derek Xavin has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
The arrest of Derek Xavin was announced by the authorities, while the riots in Minneapolis are not said to stop, and it was necessary to develop the National Guard forces to maintain public order. Xavin was arrested after three days of anti-racism protests and looting.
