One Minneapolis Officer Charged in George Floyd's Killing Released on Bond
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In news from Minnesota, CNN is reporting former Minneapolis police
officer Derek Chauvin could receive more than $1 million in pension
benefits even if he is convicted of killing George Floyd. In some
states, public employees convicted of felony crimes related to their
work lose their pensions, but that is not the case in Minnesota.
Meanwhile, Thomas Lane, one of the other officers arrested in connection
with Floyd's killing, has been released on $750,000 bond. All four
officers are scheduled to be next in court on June 29.
