White policeman Derek Chauvin, the main accused in the murder of African American George Floyd, was released on parole on Wednesday (October 7) on the payment of a million dollar bond pending his trial, according to court documents.
The 44-year-old agent is due to stand trial in March along with three of his former colleagues, accused of complicity, in this drama which sparked the largest anti-racist mobilization in the United States since the civil rights movement in the 1960s. May, in Minneapolis, he had been filmed kneeling on George Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes.
