Five years after George Floyd's death sparked worldwide protests over police brutality and racism, NPR's Michel Martin reflects on Morning Edition's return to Minneapolis to examine what has changed.

NPR took a walk through Minneapolis with its former police chief Medaria Arradondo. He says "the worst thing we can do" is dismiss the 2020 protests and outrage over police brutality as an anomaly.

Prosecutors were asking for the former police officer to be sentenced to a 30-year prison term. The defense attorney called for probation and time already served.

Prosecutors accuse the former officer and others of using excessive force and violating George Floyd's rights. The rare federal charges follow state charges in a trial in which Chauvin was convicted.

The former Minneapolis police officer who was convicted last month for murdering George Floyd is asking the court for a new trial. His lawyers say Chauvin's case was tainted by pretrial publicity.

Rev. Christoppher D. Stackhouse sat down with WUNC to talk about what the verdict means for North Carolina and the nation.

Frazier is being hailed for her bravery and quick thinking in recording the video that has been seen by millions and played a key role in former police officer Derek Chauvin's trial.

Derek Chauvin is scheduled to be sentenced in June. Later this summer, his three fellow former officers are slated to go on trial on charges of aiding and abetting murder.

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the inquiry a day after a jury convicted former officer Derek Chauvin on murder charges in the death of George Floyd.

Across the country, jubilation and relief broke out at the guilty verdict for the former Minneapolis police officer. But many people see it as the start of a long fight toward justice.
