There’s finally a verdict in the George Floyd case! Ex-cop Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all counts. The exact penalty has yet to be determined, but Chauvin will probably face a long prison sentence. He had held 46-year-old Floyd on the ground during an arrest and pressed his knee on his neck for over nine minutes, while Floyd pleaded to let him breathe. George Floyd was only accused of having paid with a fake $20 note. It’s a bit more justice in a big world full of police violence. But a step in the right direction!

Chauvin is the 7th on-duty cop to be convicted of murder since 2005, out of around 15,000 police killings in that time.

Deploying 6 police cars to arrest kids for not having a “bicycle license” while there were a dozen mass shootings in the past 48 hours by people who can get guns with almost no restrictions is what a broken society looks like. https://t.co/AuwOqTGsns
