Verdict in Derek Chauvin trial for death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May 2020:
- Guilty: second-degree murder
- Guilty: third-degree murder
- Guilty: second-degree manslaughter
For anyone who thinks this is a good thing, only ONE of three officers were charged. And he was charged with wanton endangerment (firing into the apartments) NOT for homicide. Not for taking an innocent life. Not for killing a Black woman.
Keep #ElijahMcClain and #BreonnaTaylor trending. We are far from done demanding justice. They should still be here. They mattered. Keep calling. Keep sharing.
it’s crazy and disappointing seeing how the BLM movement isn’t being talked about as much anymore. it’s not just a trend, it’s about human rights and we can’t stand down until systemic racism is dismantled completely. do better.
