Rights activist Netfa Freeman says the trial of the police officer who killed George Floyd was a stunt to distract African Americans from their main demands.

George Floyd's brother says the 22-1/2-year sentence issued for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is a "slap on the wrist."

US prosecutors seek a 30- years sentence for a white former police officer, convicted in last year's murder of African-American, George Floyd.

One year after the murder of George Floyd by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, racism is as prevalent and as deadly as ever in the United States.

The legal team of Derek Chauvin, the ex-officer was convicted last month of murdering George Floyd, has filed a motion in a Minneapolis court for a new trial, alleging misconduct by both prosecutors and jurors.

Nearly half of the Republican voters in the US believe that former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was wrongly convicted of the murder of George Floyd, a new poll shows.

In an awkward statement, US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi has thanked George Floyd for "sacrificing" his life for "justice."
