(Reuters) – A trustee for the family of George Floyd, who died on May 25 after a Minneapolis policeman knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes, sued the city of Minneapolis and four of its police officers in federal court on Wednesday, seeking money damages.
Floyd’s death triggered nationwide street protests against police brutality and renewed the American debate about racism in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic and with the November presidential election looming.
