Three former Minneapolis police officers will be criminally charged Wednesday in connection with the death of George Floyd, Sen. Amy Klobuchar wrote in a post on Twitter.
In addition, Derek Chauvin, a former officer who had already been charged with third-degree murder in the case, will now be charged with second-degree murder, the Minnesota Democrat wrote.

A CNN crew was arrested while giving a live television report Friday morning in Minneapolis — and then released about an hour later — as the crew covered ongoing protests over the death in police custody of George Floyd.
State police detained CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez, his producer and his photojournalist shortly after 5 a.m. CT (6 a.m. ET) as Jimenez was reporting live from a street south of downtown, near where a police precinct building was earlier set ablaze.
The plot thickens. An undercover police officer can be seen INCITING the LOOTING and RIOTS at the AutoZone in Minneapolis!
Jacob Pederson was caught on video smashing windows and jumpstarting riots. He can be seen in all black breaking windows and trying to conceal his identity from the sky with an umbrella.
A recurring theme…white people calling the police on black people for simply existing…. and the same outcome…tears…apologies..
outrage…TERMINATION.
