However, in the family of the deceased is considered insufficient. “The arrest of a former police officer of Minneapolis Derek Chawana (he was fired after the scandal broke.— “B”) for the brutal murder of George Floyd — welcome, but overdue step towards justice. We were expecting charges of first degree murder (with aggravating circumstances.— “Kommersant”). And we want other police officers arrested too. We urge the authorities to revise the charges to reflect the actual guilt of the police,”— said in a statement. So do those who took to the streets of American cities.Paul Tarasenko
