The black cop charged with aiding and and abetting the murder of George Floyd had dreams of transforming the police, according to friends and family. He graduated in December 2019 and while in field training, his supervisor was officer Derek Chauvin, the man now charged with Floyd's murder. Despite the set-back, Kueng became an officer on May 22, one of 80 black officers on the 900-person Minneapolis police force. Kueng applied knees to Floyd's back; Lane held his legs; and Chauvin forced his left knee down onto Floyd's neck. Chauvin, Kueng, Lane and Thao were all fired from the police department following Floyd's death.
