These fatal shootings are not isolated incidents.

Derek Michael Chauvin (born 1976) is an American former police officer charged with the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020. During an arrest made by Chauvin and three other officers, he knelt on George Floyd's neck for almost eight minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down on a street. The death set off a series of protests around the world. Chauvin was fired by the Minneapolis Police Department the day after the incident. He was initially charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter; a charge of second-degree murder was later added.
