Derek Chauvin, the officer seen in the video kneeling on Floyd’s neck for several minutes, was later arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter, for which he was found guilty on April 20, 2021.
The officers' use of force was "absolutely legitimate," wrote arbitrator Jeffrey Selchick, who added that the protester was "definitely not an innocent bystander"
