Description

As protests spread over the death of George Floyd, the former officer at the center of the case has been charged with murder. We listen in on the demonstrations, and examine why this tragedy — though too familiar — may be a turning point. Guest: Audra D. S. Burch, a national enterprise correspondent for The Times. For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily. Background reading:Derek Chauvin, a former police officer, was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for kneeling on the neck of Mr. Floyd for nearly nine minutes, as he repeatedly pleaded “I can’t breathe.” In the year before their fatal encounter, Mr. Floyd and Mr. Chauvin worked at the same nightclub. Protests over racism and police violence have broke out across the U.S. Follow the latest updates.
