Former police officer accused of murdering George Floyd will appear in a Minneapolis court later

Derek Chauvin is charged with murder after kneeling on Mr Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes.

The video of the arrest last May sparked global protests.

LaSean Braddock filed an official complaint against Derek Chauvin in 2013 claiming he was also treated in an aggressive way: 

"So I went down on my knees and then I went down to the ground and they jumped all over me. Then they put the cuffs on me super tight and I kept complaining that these cuts are tight, and then they were saying "they're not built for comfort", you know, they just kept repeating the same thing, and they still hadn't told me why I was even pulled over at the time."
