Statement on the conviction of Derek Chauvin
- Apr 21, 2021
Last summer, America stood transfixed as it watched, over and over, footage of a police officer killing a man in broad daylight, kneeling on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. For all Americans it was horrifying, but for people of color it was not surprising. What has been surprising, relieving, and heartening, is that the court process in Minnesota worked as it should. This is progress; accountability for police use of force is incredibly rare. But we shouldn’t have to applaud the justice system for doing what it should have done all along.
