Former Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A. police officer DEREK CHAUVIN was found guilty of all of all three charges: Second degree unintentionally murder, third degree murder, second degree manslaughter.
In 2020, Four Minneapolis, Minnesota police have been fired after GEORGE FLOYD,
a 46 year old African American male was handcuffed and pinned to the
ground via a police officer's (DEREK CHAUVIN) knee to his neck.
GEORGE FLOYD was arrested for a forged check or counterfeit money.
GEORGE FLOYD died from his injuries in police custody.
Protests broke out world wide (#BLACKLIVESMATTER) in support of Justice for George Floyd.
GEORGE FLOYD was a local rapper and collaborator.
FROM HUFFINGTON POST:
Police kill around 1,000 people every year. A small fraction are arrested, and even fewer are actually convicted.
ITP V.021 EDITORS NOTE:
Good riddance to Chauvin as there is finally justice. Also thank goodness for the young lady who filmed Floyd's murder, she is very brave.

FROM ALEXANDRIA OCASIA CORTEZ (U.S.A. POLITICIAN):
That a family had to lose a son, brother and father; that a teenage girl had to film and post a murder, that millions across the country had to organize and march just for George Floyd to be seen and valued is not justice.
And this verdict is not a substitute for policy change. https://t.co/tiDkhl9Dk4

FROM PHIL LABONTE (ALL THAT REMAINS):
Regardless of your opinion on the Chauvin trial verdict, he at no point was a “good” cop. He had something like 13 complaints filed against him. He’s not the guy you want to throw your support behind.

I find it fitting that an alpha-male COSPLAYER like Ted Nugent @TedNugent, who has always said he's drug free, announces he has Covid on 4/20, after a year of calling it a hoax, and on the day Derek Chauvin is found guilty of murder. https://t.co/Xk0CW9lmgi

FROM ANJANETE:
The best film of the year doesn't need an Oscar.... it needed justice for the life taken, and the lives shaken the day it was captured.

Thankfully today, justice was served.
Thank you, Darnell Frazier !
