Floyd’s death resulted in the firing of Chauvin and three other officers involved from the Minneapolis Police Department.
According to NBC News, Chauvin has a notable history of being on leave for officer-involved shootings and he’s the subject of “a dozen police conduct complaints that resulted in no disciplinary action.”
During an investigation of the incident, Chauvin and the other cop involved were placed on paid leave.
Earlier that year, Chauvin was awarded a department medal of valor for “his response in an incident involving a man armed with a gun” then he was recognized once again in 2009 by the police department.
Floyd’s family wants murder charges against Chauvin and three other officers after the Monday incident that resulted in Floyd’s death.
