However, there are more involved in the case – Tou Thao (badge number 7162), Thomas Lane, and J Alexander Kueng.

Tou Thao, 40-year-old, Asian-American ex Minneapolis Police Officer, has been charged for aiding and abetting 2nd murder along with manslaughter. He is one of the four policemen involved in the murder of George Floyd.

The Minnesota Attorney General, Keith Ellison said,

We’re deeply saddened by the loss of George Floyd. He should have been alive today but unfortunately, he is not. Today I press charges against the ex Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin with 2nd-degree murder. The evidence delivered has shown concrete proofs of manslaughter.

Arrest warrants have been issued for the three ex MPD officers, J.A Keung, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao. Also, I would like to mention that I press charges against the three officers for aiding and abetting in a second-degree murder case. I hope these developments would bring justice for the family.

Aiding and abetting for 2nd-degree murder will lead up to 40 years of imprisonment, 3rd-degree murder up to 25 years, and a payment of up to $40,000, and 2nd-degree manslaughter up to 10 years in prison.

This conspiration for the murder of George Floyd has shaken the whole nation. People have forgotten the virus pandemic. And joined hand in hand for George Floyd Protest which finally came to a conclusion.

But this protest has given birth to unexpected riots, damage to public property, and historical monuments. Millions of Americans came outside of their house and offices for justice to mankind and remove racism from the atmosphere.
