A former Minneapolis police officer received his state prison sentence for his role in the killing of George Floyd.
Tou Thao, the last former Minneapolis police officer convicted in state court for his role in the killing of George Floyd, was sentenced Monday to 4 years and 9 months - even as he denied wrongdoing.Thao had testified that he merely served as a "human traffic cone" when he held back concerned bystanders who gathered as former Officer Derek Chauvin, who is white, knelt on Floyd's neck for 9 1/2 minutes while the Black man pleaded for his life on May 25, 2020.
Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill responded that he was hoping "for more than preaching" from Thao. "After thee years of reflection, I was hoping for a little more remorse," the judge said.Assistant Attorney General Erin Eldridge said during the hearing that Floyd's final words "reverberated across the globe."
"There is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Thao's actions were objectively unreasonable from the perspective of a reasonable police officer, when viewed under the totality of the circumstances," Cahill wrote.
