Former Minneapolis officer convicted of aiding and abetting manslaughter in George Floyd's death.

Former Minneapolis police officer Tou Thao has been found guilty of aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter for his role in the killing of George Floyd in May 2020. Judge Peter Cahill wrote that Thao "actively encouraged his three colleagues' dangerous prone restraint of Floyd" and even prevented an off-duty Minneapolis firefighter from rendering medical aid. The decision marks the end of a series of state and federal trials for the four former officers involved in Floyd's death, which sparked worldwide protests against police violence towards Black people.
