@votetimscott You killed the George Floyd Police Reform Bill. You would block it now. How can a person achieve the American dream when that dream can be permanently interrupted at anytime or anyplace by a police officer having a “bad day”?

BREAKING: Derek Chauvin has been convicted of the murder of George Floyd. For the first time in Minnesota state history, a white police officer has been held accountable for killing a Black man.
Andrea Jenkins, vice president of Minneapolis City Council, says George Floyd and Officer Chauvin worked at restaurant near Third Precinct. "They were coworkers for a very long time."
I’m watching so many decisions be made to stop the looting & rioting. National guard has been called in...curfews are being moved around. How about arresting the other officers that were involved in the death of George Floyd. ??♂️??♂️??♂️ How about Justice???
George Floyd was murdered. Every single officer involved must be held accountable.
George Floyd’s murder is not only an outrage. It is the latest manifestation of a system that callously devalues the lives of Black people. Our struggle is and always has been about justice—not justice on paper, but real justice in the real lives of real people.
