Change.org - The officer who killed George Floyd

Officials arrested former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on Friday for the murder of George Floyd. Chauvin was the officer caught on video with his knee pressed into Floyd’s neck. Floyd, who pleaded "I can’t breathe" as witnesses captured cell phone video, died. But Chauvin only faces third-degree murder charges. Allie and thousands of others believe this charge is too weak. Allie started this petition to demand that Chauvin face higher murder charges. They need your signature now to send an urgent message to prosecutors.

Derek M Chauvin is a Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd on Memorial day. May 25, 2020. The chokehold he used isn’t even LEGAL in MMA, because it can kill someone in MINUTES. He has done this so many times against Latinos, Native Americans, and Black people. In 2008 he shot an unarmed Black man, he was one of the officers that helped MURDER Wayne Reyes, a Latino man, with SIXTEEN bullets. He is guilty. What he did was premeditated/planned because it’s well known that the chokehold is deadly. Raise the degree. This is first-degree murder. People of color will not be silenced by this system any longer.
