Judge Jeannice Reding granted the prosecution’s request for a $1.25 million unconditional bail or a lower bail of $1 million with conditions. The $1 million bail conditions would require Chauvin to turn in his firearms and gun permits, have no contact with Floyd’s family, and not work in a security capacity or as an officer while out on bail.

Chauvin’s attorney, Eric Nelson, did not object to the requirements and asked for a hearing to be set for June 29. The former officer did not enter a plea.
Video of the incident showed Chauvin putting his knee of Floyd’s neck for more than eight minutes, despite Floyd crying out that he could not breathe and that he was in pain.
Three other officers in the case were charged with aiding and abetting Chauvin and were granted bail last week.
Floyd’s death has inspired global protests against racial disparities in policing as well as police violence. Protests calling for police reform have been sustained for nearly two weeks across America, but have also popped up internationally in places such as London and Paris.
A civil rights investigation was opened against the Minneapolis Police Department last week after the Minnesota of Department of Human Rights filed a charge of discrimination against the department.
A majority within the Minneapolis City Council agreed Sunday to dismantle the city’s police department and disband the department in its “current iteration.” Officials in other cities such as New York City and Los Angeles have also committed to diverting some funding from police departments to bolster social programs.
