The cop who knelt into George Floyd's back has been jailed.
J. Alexander Kueng was sentenced to three and a half years, after pleading guilty in October to charges of aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter, according to the Daily Mirror.
Former cop Kueng appeared via video feed from a low-security federal prison in Ohio after admitting to holding down Floyd's upper body in a manner not appropriate, in the murder on May 25, 2020.

Lane, Taho and Keung were convicted of denying Floyd his right to medical care in February. Thao and Keung were also given further convictions for

While theaters are still recovering from the pandemic directly impacting attendance and box office outcomes, there are still really great movies struggling to find audiences outside of streaming and VOD options when they are released in theaters.
