Black Lives Matter

The defense attorney for the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd has requested a new trial, saying the court abused its discretion on several points.

“Let’s not be silent,” she said. “Let’s not close our eyes and close our mouths. Let’s keep agitating for change. Maybe what we don’t need is a police department, but a department of public safety.”

A ‘silent vigil for justice’ will take place on Sunday, April 25 from 7pm-9pm in downtown Casper.

Body camera and dashcam footage released in the days following the police shooting of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant depict a scene filled with chaos.

There's hope that the Chauvin verdict might be a crucial juncture in the national conversation about race, policing and the use of force.

Andrew Brown Jr. was shot in the back and killed as he was trying to drive away.

Derek Chauvin is already locked away in Minnesota’s only maximum-security prison, but it will be two months before he is sentenced for murder in George Floyd’s death.

The verdict in the Chauvin case might not be quickly repeated, even as the list of those killed at the hands of police grows.

Body camera video shows a Columbus officer fatally shoot a Black teenage girl who swung at two other people with a knife.

Shortly after the verdict was read, Chauvin was handcuffed and escorted out of the courtroom. That's when viewers noticed something was scribbled on his hands.
