The Latest Breaking News from George Floyd

US Army sergeant who killed Black Lives Matter protester is jailed for 25 years

Perry’s case has become an explosive political stew of arguments over gun rights, self-defense and racist social media posts. The governor dived in early, saying he would pardon Perry even before a judge handed down the sentence.
