Almost two years ago, a shocking nine-minute video was released showing a Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, fatally kneeling on the neck of George Floyd.
Mr. Chauvin is now serving a long sentence for murder.
A few weeks ago, a trial began in the case of the three other officers who were on the scene that day. They are charged with violating Mr. Floyd’s civil rights during the arrest that caused his death.
On today’s episode
Kim Barker, an enterprise reporter for The New York Times.
