Quote:On Tuesday afternoon, the office of lawyer Tom Kelly confirmed they were representing one of the officers involved in the case, and confirmed his identity as Derek Chauvin. The identities of the other officers involved have not been released.


At the Tuesday morning press conference alongside the mayor, Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo — who fired the four officers involved — did not address the video specifically, but did say that he received information from the community that prompted him to reach out to the FBI. The investigation is now being led by federal authorities with help from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Officials from the FBI’s Minneapolis division released a statement Tuesday afternoon, saying in part the “investigation will focus on whether the Minneapolis Police Department officers involved willfully deprived the individual of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.”

Lt. Bob Kroll, president of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, said that the union intends to provide full support to the officers.

“Now is not the time rush to judgement and immediately condemn our officers,” Kroll said. “An in-depth investigation is underway. Our officers are fully cooperating. We must review all video. We must wait for the medical examiner’s report.”

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office released a preliminary report early Tuesday evening, which just lists Floyd’s name, age, city of residence, and his time of death, which was Monday at 9:25 p.m.

Any one of us, who isn't a police officer, would be jail while they investigated.

Any of us.

So, we'll see.
