Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis officer who knelt on George Floyd's neck till he died, has been arrested and charged with 3rd degree murder.  The other 3 officers who stood by and watched are still under investigation, but no charges have yet been filed.   Derek Chauvin, who was fired on Tuesday along with three other officers involved in the detainment of Floyd, was taken into custody Friday and faces charges of 3rd-degree murder and manslaughter, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced.   3rd degree murder is a crime committed without premeditation or intention to kill and involves killing another person through inherent dangerous actions and with no regard to human life.   Freeman said he expected more charges to come, possibly against some of the other three officers.   “The investigation is ongoing," Freeman said, "We felt it was appropriate to focus on the most dangerous perpetrator. This case has moved with extraordinary speed.” Just a day earlie

YouTube personality Myka Stauffer has come forward with a heartbreaking revelation about her family.  Myka, 32, was joined by husband James Stauffer as she told her 717,000 YouTube subscribers that their adopted son Huxley is no longer living with them. Known as "Rehoming", the couple struggled to hold back tears as they candidly detailed their decision to place the toddler in a new home that will better suit his medical needs.  "With international adoption," James explained, "sometimes there are unknowns and things that are not transparent on files. Once Huxley came home, there were a lot more special needs than we were aware of and we were not told." They adopted Huxley from China back in 2017, and in a blog written by Myka for The Bump, she explained that he was "profoundly developmentally delayed." In addition to a brain cyst and brain tumor, Huxley was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder level 3 after returning to the states

attempted to respectfully pay tribute to George Floyd by sharing a video of 14-year-old son David Banda dancing to Michael Jackson's song "They Don't Care About Us," writing on social media, "As news of George Floyd's brutal murder travels around the world my son David dances to honor and pay tribute to George and his family and all acts of racism and discrimination that happen on a daily basis in America."  Her post was met with widespread criticism, with some calling the pop star out of touch.  "A bit insensitive as you're a person with a platform to voice their concern, you should be doing a lot more," one Twitter user wrote. "Having your adopted black son dance ain't going to force change to happen."  Another wrote, "Good intentions but completely tone-deaf. Dancing away the racism of murderous cops won't actually do anything. But thanks for trying!"

The photo was similar to the images seen in the viral video of Floyd being pinned by a white Minneapolis cop on Monday before he died.    “Not dead yet I’m doing this for our police officers the media is a race baiting machine and I’m tired of it,” Hollenbeck wrote on Facebook. “I’m going to speak out every time if you don’t like that I’m sorry but I love All people..

A Minneapolis man, who identified Derek Chauvin from the video where he was kneeling on the neck of George Floyd till he died, has told of how the same officer almost killed him in 2008.   According to Daily Beast, Ira Latrell Toles,33, said Derek Chauvin stormed into his home on May 24, 2008, and assaulted him in the bathroom before shooting him in the stomach.   After watching the video on George Floyd's tragic death on Tuesday evening, Toles texted his sister saying Chauvin might have been the cop who shot him.   His sister watched the video fo Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd's neck for 9 minutes and she confirmed that he was indeed the one who shot him in 2008.   Toles, who still experiences stomach pain to this day, says George Floyd would have been alive today if Chauvin was punished for shooting him in 2008.   "If he was reprimanded when he shot me, George Floyd would still be alive," Toles said.   Recall that LIB reported that the two office

Boris Johnson is facing more potentially awkward questions about his refusal to sack Dominic Cummings in a 90-minute interrogation by senior MPs. For the first time since becoming prime minister 10 months ago, he is appearing before the Liaison Committee, made up of the MPs who chair all-party select committees. Mr Johnson's interrogation comes as more than thirty Tory MPs demand Mr Cummings is sacked and opinion polls suggest strong public support for his dismissal.

Police in Hong Kong have fired pepper pellets at protesters as MPs gather to debate a bill that would criminalise insulting China's national anthem. Small protests are taking place in several locations, and dozens of people have been arrested. The second reading of the bill comes amid high anti-mainland sentiment. Days ago, China also proposed implementing a controversial national security law, which triggered a burst of unrest. Critics say that bill is a direct attempt to curtail the city's unique freedoms. However, the city's leader Carrie Lam has denied that the national security law - which would ban treason, secession, sedition and subversion - would curtail the rights of Hong Kongers. If the anthem bill becomes law, anyone who misuses or insults China's national anthem, the March of the Volunteers, would face a fine of up to HK$50,000 (£5,237; $6,449) and up to three years in prison. If it passes the second reading in the Legislative Counci

A post by US President Donald Trump has been given a fact-check label by Twitter for the first time. Mr Trump tweeted, without providing evidence: "There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent." Twitter put a warning label in the post and a subsequent tweet under its new policy on misleading information.  President Trump responded by tweeting again, saying the social media giant "is completely stifling free speech". Twitter's notification displays a blue exclamation mark underneath the tweets, suggesting readers "get the facts about mail-in ballots".

Newcastle  have begun talks to sign Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho, 28, after Bayern Munich decided they will not be taking up their option to sign the Brazil international on a permanent deal.

Borussia Dortmund head coach Lucien Favre admitted it will be "brutally difficult" to stop Bayern Munich retaining their Bundesliga title after Bayern beat Dortmund on Tuesday. Joshua Kimmich's wonderful chip from 20 yards just before half-time was the only goal at Signal Iduna Park. Bayern are seven points clear of their second-placed opponents with six matches to go. "Seven points in six games - it will be very, very difficult," said Favre. Bayern are aiming for their eighth successive Bundesliga title but boss Hansi Flick insisted there is still a lot of work to do. "I don't live in the future, the here and now is important," he said. "We wanted to win and take a big step forward - we did that. We were focused, decisive and courageous at times. I'm satisfied with my team." Kimmich's goal came after both sides had efforts cleared off the line. Dortmund brought on England forward Jadon Sancho in the second half, but h

The Reds were top of the table when the season was stopped and require just two wins from the last nine games for their first top-flight title since 1990. The league is hopeful of a June restart having been suspended since 13 March because of the coronavirus pandemic. Henderson said Liverpool fans "make a huge difference and we all know that. The England international told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Of course it would feel different because if you win any trophy and receive it without any fans there, it would be pretty strange. "It is still not over. We still have work to do and we still need to perform at a high level right the way until the season finishes because we want to finish as strongly as we can to make sure it is a full season. "After that, whether we win it or whatever, then [receiving] the trophy and the fans not being there... you just have to deal with it when it comes. Hopefully it does happen. We are still in a very good position. "It will

Pro-Buhari and APC members have taken to Twitter to kick against the alleged appointment of writer, Toni Kan, as the Spokesperson to the Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq.   According to reports, Hajia Farouq has appointed Kan as her media aide. This has been met with stiff opposition from APC members and staunch supporters of President Buhari.   They argue that Toni Kani has strong ties with the opposition party, PDP and that his appointment will be counterproductive. They also argue that a person who has hitherto written articles against the Buhari-led government should not be given a place to serve in the same government.   Kan also took to his Twitter handle to also defend himself. See their exchange below
