A third Minneapolis cop charged in George Floyd’s death has been released from jail after posting bail.

Former metro police officer Tou Thao, 34, left Hennepin County jail late on Saturday morning, where he was being held in lieu of $750,000 before his release, according to CBS news.
Thao is one of three former Minneapolis police officers charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter in the police involved killing of George Floyd. A killing that has generated vast ripples on a global scale.
Thao along with two other officers J. Alexander Kueng, 26, and Thomas Lane, 37 were fired and arrested after the death of 46-year-old George Floyd during an ill-fated arrest on May 25. Their colleague Sgt. Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for almost nine minutes during the blood chilling arrest on May 25.
Officers JA Kueng and Thomas Lane were both earlier released after posting bail on their $750,000 bonds last month.
