Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer, has just been charged with second degree murder, third degree murder, and second degree manslaughter. He faces up to 40 years in prison. This is a landmark case that hopefully will start to change things for the better.
However
We cannot stop here. Since the first day of the trial, over 60 Americans, most of the POC, have been killed during encounters with law enforcement. 60 PEOPLE. IN FOUR WEEKS. We cannot assume that this one case will change everything. So we have to keep fighting. I’m so happy that our justice system finally did something right in its conviction of Chauvin but that doesn’t mean it will continue to do so.
So keep fighting. Keep protesting. Keep changing the world around you. Hope for the better. <3
