African American George Floyd died in late May shortly after being detained by police in Minneapolis.

One of the police officers held him down with a knee on his neck.

Police officer Chauvin was later charged with a second degree.

After Floyd's death, massive protests against racial discrimination and police violence began in the United States.

In July, a court released on bail Tu Tao, one of the police officers accused of Floyd's death.
