Reports surfaced noting that eight Minnesota correctional officers of color have filed a discrimination complaint saying they were barred from guarding Derek Chauvin, the ex-cop charged with murdering George Floyd via a knee to his neck.

The correctional officers from the Ramsey County Adult Detention Center in St. Paul, Minnesota issued the complaint to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. They said the decision to keep them away from Chauvin along with the entire floor he is being held on was based on their skin color.

An anonymous Black employee from the complaint said, “I am not aware of a similar situation where white officers were segregated from an inmate.” From there, the employee said the order from his superintendent is “the most overly discriminatory act that has occurred during my employment.” The incident also reportedly left some of his co-workers in tears. The officer continued on saying, “My fellow officers of color and I were, and continue to be, deeply humiliated, distressed, and negatively impacted by the segregation order.”

The superintendent of the jail admitted to giving the order to keep minority officers away from Chauvin, saying “Recognizing that the murder of George Floyd was likely to create particularly acute racialized trauma, I felt I had an immediate duty to protect and support employees who may have been traumatized and may have heightened ongoing trauma by having to deal with Chauvin. Out of care and concern, and without the comfort of time, I made the decision to limit exposure to employees of color to a murder suspect who could potentially aggravate those feelings."

Derek Chauvin, the officer who kneeled on George Floyd's neck for nine minutes until he was unresponsive, made his first court appearance on Monday (June 8). Chauvin's bail was set at $1.25 million, $1 million if he agrees to a set of conditions, including that he not work in security or law enforcement, not have contact with Floyd's family, not leave Minnesota and surrender all firearms and permits. He would also be on supervised release.

Prosecutor Matthew Frank explained that Chauvin's bail was set so high due to the public nature of the charges and ongoing protests. This comes after Chauvin's charges were upgraded from third-degree to second-degree murder, and the three officers who assisted him in arresting Floyd were also charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder.
