A jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of the murder of African American George Floyd.

Now he faces up to 40 years in prison.

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. 

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