Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer involved in George Floyd's death on Monday, has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
德里克·肖万被指控犯有三级谋杀罪和过失杀人罪,他曾是明尼阿波利斯的一名警官,与乔治·弗洛伊德周一的死有关。
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced the charges Friday, shortly after Chauvin was taken into custody by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
亨内平县检察官迈克·弗里曼星期五宣布了这些指控,在此之前不久,肖文被明尼苏达州刑事逮捕局拘留。
The announcement comes days after the release of a video that shows Chauvin's knee pressed firmly on the black man's neck for at least seven minutes.
几天前公布的一段视频显示,肖文的膝盖紧紧压在这名黑人男子的脖子上至少有7分钟。
That video has inspired outrage nationwide and unrest in Minneapolis and had led to Chauvin's firing as well as that of three other officers seen in the video.
这段视频激起了全国的愤怒和明尼阿波利斯的动荡,导致了肖万以及视频中出现的另外三名警察被解雇。
Asked why Chauvin wasn't arrested earlier — something demanded by protesters and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey — Freeman said his office moved as quickly as possible in its investigation.
当被问到为什么肖万没有早点被逮捕时——抗议者和明尼阿波利斯市市长雅各布·弗雷都要求这么做——弗里曼说,他的办公室在调查中以最快的速度采取了行动。
He added that the three other former officers remain under investigation and that he anticipates charges for them, too.
他还说,另外三名前警官仍在接受调查,他预计他们也会受到指控。
The Department of Justice is also conducting an investigation on "a separate and parallel track," U.S. Attorney General William Barr said Friday in a statement.
美国司法部长巴尔周五在一份声明中说,司法部也在“以独立和平行的方式”进行调查。
"Both state and federal officers are working diligently and collaboratively to ensure that any available evidence relevant to these decisions is obtained as quickly as possible," Barr said.
巴尔说:“州和联邦官员都在努力和协作,确保尽快获得与这些决定有关的任何现有证据。”
Those investigations, coupled with the officers' firings, has so far failed to satisfy the protesters who had gathered for a third night Thursday in Minneapolis.
这些调查,加上警察的解雇,到目前为止都未能让周四第三晚在明尼阿波利斯聚集的抗议者满意。
Some of them stormed the 3rd Police Precinct, the closest precinct to the site of Floyd's arrest, setting fire to that building after police withdrew in an attempt to mitigate tensions.
他们中的一些人袭击了第三警察分局,这是距离弗洛伊德被捕地点最近的一个分局,在警察试图缓解紧张局势而撤离后,他们纵火焚烧了第三警察分局的大楼。
Rioters burned and looted other buildings in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
在明尼阿波利斯和圣保罗双城,暴徒烧毁并洗劫了其他建筑。
The region has seethed since the release of the video depicting Floyd's arrest, which shows Floyd crying for help before falling silent, while bystanders shout that he's dying.
自从描述弗洛伊德被捕的视频发布以来,该地区一直处于动荡之中,视频显示弗洛伊德在陷入沉默之前曾大声呼救,而旁观者则大喊他快死了。
The officer did not remove his knee until paramedics showed up to move Floyd's unresponsive body into an ambulance.
直到医护人员出现,将弗洛伊德失去知觉的尸体抬进救护车,这名警察才将他的膝盖移走。
He was reported dead later Monday night.
据报道,他于周一晚些时候死亡。
In an attempt to avoid another night of chaos, officials have ordered a nighttime curfew in Minneapolis and St. Paul beginning at 8 p.m. local time Friday and Saturday nights and continuing until 6 a.m.
为了避免晚上再次出现混乱,官员们下令明尼阿波利斯和圣保罗从当地时间周五和周六晚上8点开始宵禁,一直持续到早上6点。
Protesters have turned out to express their outrage as far as Los Angeles and New York City.
而最近,甚至洛杉矶和纽约的抗议者也表达了他们的愤怒。
Meanwhile in Louisville, Ky., demonstrators gathered Thursday to protest death of Breonna Taylor, a black woman shot by police during a no-knock raid on her home in March.
与此同时,今年三月,在肯塔基州的路易斯维尔,黑人女性布雷安娜·泰勒在一次强行闯入的搜查中被警方击毙。
Those protests turned violent, as well, with several people reported shot amid the melee.
这些抗议活动也演变成了暴力活动,据报道,有几个人在混战中被击毙。
As one protester in Minneapolis told NPR, the anger over Floyd's death is about more than just one man — it's about how police treat black people across the U.S.
明尼阿波利斯的一名抗议者告诉美国国家公共电台,对弗洛伊德之死的愤怒不仅仅是针对一个人,而是关于警察如何对待美国各地的黑人。
"This is how our people react, you know? When we've been done wrong for so long," he said.
“这就是我们人民的反应,你知道吗?我们已经做了这么长时间的错事,”他说。
"So, me, I'm just praying and hoping everybody makes it home safe."
“所以我和其他人一样都期盼能够保护好自己的家。”
