George Floyd‘s family attorney, Ben Crump, is announcing his plans to file a lawsuit against the City of Minneapolis and its police force … and TMZ is streaming live.
Crump and his co-counsel, Antonio Romanucci, are announcing the civil suit on behalf of the Floyd family with a news conference that’s set to begin at 9 AM PT outside the federal courthouse in Minneapolis.
As you know, Floyd was killed May 25 while being arrested by Minneapolis PD. Now-fired officer Derek Chauvin kept his knee pressed on George’s neck for nearly 8 minutes and 46 seconds while Floyd was face down on the ground in handcuffs.
Chauvin, who is still in jail, has been charged with 2nd-degree murder and 2nd-degree manslaughter.
The other three former police officers charged in Floyd’s alleged murder — J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas K. Lane and Tou Thao — are each charged with 2 counts — one for aiding and abetting 2nd-degree murder and one for aiding and abetting 2nd-degree manslaughter.
Crump and his legal team have been talking about filing this lawsuit for a while … and now they’re finally pulling the trigger.
