Former Minneapolis police officers J Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao have each been sentenced to more than three years in federal prison for violating George Floyd’s civil rights during his Memorial Day 2020 murder.
Both officers were convicted in February on two civil rights violations of failing to provide Floyd with medical aid and failing to stop their colleague Derek Chauvin from murdering him as he pinned the Black man to the ground by the neck until he died.
