Two ex-officers sentenced for violating George Floyd's civil rights

Former Minneapolis police officers Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao were sentenced Wednesday to three and 3 1/2 years in prison, respectively, for their roles in the killing of George Floyd in May 2020, AP reports.

Why it matters: Kueng, Thao and Thomas Lane, another former police officer, were convicted of violating Floyd's civil rights in February by not intervening as Derek Chauvin kneeled on Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes and killed him.
