The city identified the four officers on Wednesday as Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J Alexander Kueng. It did not identify the officer who had his knee against Floyd’s throat, and provided no further information. The Garner case was one of a series of killings of black men by US police officers that fueled the “Black Lives Matter” movement, which campaigns against violence toward black people and systemic racism. A protest in Minneapolis was planned for Wednesday in front of the home of a police officer organizers say was involved in the incident, according to a posting on Facebook. The organizer said a peaceful protest was planned, but the officer will “feel our pain and what it’s like to be afraid for his life.”
