J.A.Kueng: Last News

While new charges have been brought against the officers involved in George Floyd's death, what exactly do they mean? On Wednesday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is leading the prosecution in the case of Floyd's death, announced that he had filed charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter against J.A. Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao, the three other former Minneapolis police officers who had been involved in Floyd's arrest and later fired, but had not yet been charged in his death.

Like so many across the country, Nicki Minaj is angry. The “Monster” rapper, 37, took to her Instagram account on June 1 with a message of disappointment and exasperation, calling out the lack of accountability by the justice system to charge the other officers — Thomas Lane, J.A. Kueng, and Tou Thoa — who watched on as Derek Chauvin pushed his knee into George Floyd‘s neck, leading to his death by asphyxiation. “When 4 black THUGS commit a crime, if 1 person commits murder, they ALL get charged & CONVICTED,” Nicki began her impassioned post, which featured a chalk board with the names of Black men and women who lost their lives under circumstances that involved law enforcement.
