As George Floyd’s memorial service continues, three Minneapolis police officers have appeared in court over his death.
Thomas Lane, J Alexander Kueng, and Tou Thao have been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder, and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.
If convicted, they face up to 40 years in prison. Their bail has been set at $1m (£792,000).
Derek Chauvin, the officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck, has been charged with second-degree murder and is due to appear separately in court on 8 June.
