After 38 witnesses, over 11 days, the prosecution rested its case against Derek Chauvin ​on Tuesday.

The former police officer faces murder and manslaughter charges for the death of George Floyd last May. 

The defense ​then opened its case, show​ing the court new bodycam footage. One ​clip showed ​then-Minneapolis police officer Scott Creighton arresting Floyd in ​a previous stop in May of 2019.

The ​retired officer told the court that Floyd did not comply with police demands. 

Some fifteen kilometers away in Brooklyn Center, further clashes between police and protestors. These, follow​ing the latest death of a Black man at the hands of a White police officer.
