I have been fearing the outcome of this trial so I’m relieved this despicable human being has been found guilty.
While Floyd’s family and all those spectators that were traumatized by Chauvin’s actions may never be fully relieved of such painful memory, at least today’s verdict can be the beginning of their healing process.

Wow
A Minneapolis cop was sentenced in 2019 to 12.5 years on second and third-degree manslaughter charges in the killing of an Australian woman.
IIRC, that situation wasn't nearly as egregious as Chauvin's actions against George Floyd - thus the murder charges.
Black immigrant cop; white women.
Yes fully agree. What I meant by my post is that they murder with impunity and without consequence. There is obviously no reform so the only way to stop this horrific practice is to charge them, convict them and send them to jail when they do it.
That will soon send the rates down as they will know there will be consequences
Yes. Perhaps naively I hold out hope the judge will see past the race/sex of the parties and rely on precedent.
Cop kills a civilian, is convicted on lesser charges and, receives a sentence of 12.5 years - half of the maximum 25-year sentence allowable on the greater charge in the conviction. Chauvin is facing 40 years on the greater charge for which he was convicted.

It’s also not true. The Minnesota one might be, but nationally convictions have happened before so Levar is incorrect. However, it is true that many many more have gotten away with it than have been convicted. Still a massive verdict.
