Ex-Minneapolis officer sentenced to nearly 5 years for role in George Floyd killing

Tou Thao was the last former Minneapolis police officer sentenced for his role in George Floyd's death.
Thao held back bystanders while Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for over 9 minutes.
Thao claimed he was just a "human traffic cone" but was found guilty of aiding and abetting manslaughter.
Thao's 4 year 9 month sentence will run concurrently with his federal civil rights conviction.
Floyd's death sparked worldwide protests against police brutality and racism.
