Chauvin is charged with second- and third-degree murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s May 25 death in Minneapolis by kneeling on his neck for nearly nine minutes. Videos of the incident set off nationwide protests over police brutality and racism.
Chauvin’s unconditional bail had been set at $1.25 million, or $1 million with conditions.
He was released on conditions, according to a document filed to the Hennepin County District Court from the county’s sheriff. Court records show Chauvin posted a non-cash bond guaranteed by the Allegheny Casualty Company.
Conditions that had been set at his bond hearing included prohibitions against working in law enforcement and contact with Floyd’s family. Chauvin is also required to surrender any licenses or permits for firearms. (reporting by Nathan Layne in Wilton, Connecticut; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)
A salaried uniformed police officer can post a U$D1 million bail?
My thoughts also…..maybe his pal Trump provided it ?
Should there also not be an investigation of the so-called Allegheny Casualty Company, which the report claims provided it …maybe as a front for Trump/Pence ?
