Dodger Stadium Keeps Lights on for 8 Minutes, 46 Seconds to Honor George Floyd

Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles turned on its lights for eight minutes and 46 seconds Wednesday night in remembrance of George Floyd.

NBC Los Angeles provided a look at the tribute:

Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was killed while in Minneapolis Police Department custody last week. Officer Derek Chauvin, who was fired after the incident, was shown on video with his knee on Floyd's neck and back for nearly nine minutes during an arrest for an alleged forgery.

Chauvin has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The other three officers involved in the incident were also fired, arrested and charged.
