Not only does this earthquake come amid a pandemic of coronavirus, but it also comes because many people in Los Angeles (and around the world) are protesting against Floyd’s death. On May 25, while he was arrested on charges of alleged forgery, Floyd, an African American man, was murdered after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauffin knelt on his neck for about nine minutes. On Friday, Chauvin was arrested and charged with third degree murder and manslaughter. Minnesota State Attorney Keith Ellison announced later on Wednesday that these charges would rise to second-degree murder and manslaughter. In addition, the other three officers involved in this incident – Tu Thao, JV Alexander Koenig, and Thomas Lin – were accused of aiding and abetting second-degree murder and manslaughter. Benjamin Crump, lawyer for the Floyd family, later issued a statement on these developments in the case.

“This is a sweet and bitter moment for the George Floyd family,” the statement said. “We are very grateful that Attorney General Keith Ellison took decisive action in this case, arresting and accusing all of the officers involved in the death of George Floyd and upgrading the charge against Derek Schofen to a second-degree murder.” “This is an important step forward on the road to justice, and we are pleased that this important measure was taken before the body of George Floyd was buried. This is a source of peace to the George family at this painful time,” the letter continued.
