The white police officer who knelt on unarmed George Floyd's neck before he died allegedly tried to kill another black man in 2008. Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin was fired after being caught on camera performing a dangerous hold on the tragic 46-year-old as he gasped for air and begged for his life in Minneapolis on Monday.
Chauvin had 18 prior complaints against him, only two of which were "closed with discipline", the police department said.
