| Mugshot of Derek Chauvin |
The Prime Accused in the murder of African American George Floyd, Derek Chauvin has been granted bail on a $1 Million(Around 7.55 Crore Rs) bond and was released from the facility in Oak Park Heights where he had been detained since May. He is said to have been released around 11:30 on the morning on Thursday October 8.
George Floyd was an African American who was killed on May 25 by the hands or we should knees of Derek Chauvin and his three other fellow officers when they restrained him down on the ground and Chauvin kept a knee at his neck.
Despite Floyd's protest he(Derek) would not take his knee up and kept on pressing his knee for around 8-9 minutes, eventually killing Floyd in the process.
He along with fellow officers Thomas Lane, J Kueng and Tao Thao were charged with aid in second degree murder where Derek was charged with both second and third degree murder.
Upon hearing the news of his release, peaceful protesters started again on the streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota in which several of them were arrested as well.
Floyd Lawyers on Derek Chauvin release said that "it is a painful reminder to George Floyd's family that we are still far from achieving justice for George". After his death wild protest were seen not only in US but the entire world as everyone stood in the solidarity of the motto "Black Lives Matter".
At the end we are left to think what to do next. Despite all the protests,taking a knee in remembrance and solidarity was not enough for justice, then what do. There is one thing for certain Money talks. In this world a person can go away even from an alleged murder if he or she has money.
