Arresting officer in George Floyd case taken into custody by BCA

[stopdiggin]

48. the lowest degree of murder in the state

is 3rd Degree murder

Third-degree murder falls between manslaughter and second-degree murder charges. This murder is not based on having the intent to kill. Third-degree murder is often charged as a depraved heart or mind crime. This charge can arise when a person fires a gun in a crowd without intending to kill anyone, for example.

Second degree murder can be charged when a defendant intentionally kills another human being but the murder is not premeditated. Second-degree murder may result when a person kills out of an intense emotional response or impulse. Additionally, killing someone during a drive-by shooting, killing someone during the commission of a crime

Unless you can demonstrate an intent to kill, 2nd Degree is going to be a high hurdle. And, by the wording given here, 3rd Degree might also be a stretch. I think the likeliest thing you will see here is an "overcharge" (intended to be plead down) of 2nd degree. But that will be mostly for public consumption.
