Guilty Guilty Guilty

“Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz lauded Tuesday’s verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial, and pledged that it is just the beginning to enacting real change for the Black community in his state.
“It’s an important step towards justice for Minnesota, trial’s over, but here in Minnesota, I want to be very clear, we know our work just begins. This is the floor, not the ceiling of where we need to get to,” Walz said. ”
George Floyd’s family received a small modicum of justice when a jury convicted Derek Chauvin of Mr. Floyd’s murder. There are no winners in this situation and this will not bring Mr. Floyd back and policing in American will not radically change overnight. But this is a small step in the right direction in what is going to be a long and arduous journey to reform police departments nationwide. That being said, this verdict matters and it could be a catalyst for racial justice reform in law enforcement. #JusticeforGeorge #sayhisname
