Former #Minneapolis officer Tou Thao was called first. Must surrender firearms, void firearm permits, and have no contact with family of #GeorgeFloyd.

Former officer J. Keung was called second. Attorney says #Keung is not a flight risk and has never lived more than ten miles from the home he grew up in.

Attorney adds Keung hadn’t completed 3rd shift as a full-fledged police officer prior to arrest of #GeorgeFloyd.

MORE: Keung's attorney states his client told fellow officers, “You shouldn’t do this," as #GeorgeFloyd was held to the ground.

Judge offers a pregnant pause before issuing same bail and stipulations as Tou Thao. #NBCNews

Former @MinneapolisPD officer Thomas Lane was 3rd to face judge, with 9 friends/family seated behind him in support.

Attorney stressed Lane asked #Chauvin twice, "Shall we roll him over?" followed by, "I think he suffered from delirium." #NBCNews

Upon ambulance arriving, Lane's attorney states officer jumped in back and performed CPR on #GeorgeFloyd.

Asks judge, “What is my client supposed to do other than follow what the training officer [Chauvin] said?”

Adds Lane had been full-fledged officer for 4 days. #NBCNews

Lane’s attorney: “You have to have criminal intent for second-degree murder and frankly this is bullshit.“
#NBCNews

Of all three officers, Lane’s legal team was only one to request a probable cause hearing. Date not set, but will allow defense to dispute bail and/or charges. #NBCNews #GeorgeFloyd
