I make it a point to not comment on pending criminal cases. Even the most vile of criminals deserve to be treated fairly by the law, and I prefer to let the jurors called to serve make the call as to guilt or innocence….
But having said that, Chauvin had his day in court. He had his trial. And he was found guilty in a court of law. I will not glory in the verdict, nor will I gloat over it. George Floyd is still gone, and finding one cop guilty of killing him will not bring him back.
But, this can be a start. A start towards police accountability. A start towards the police viewing everybody they see as citizens with rights, and not as being beneath the protection of the law.
Chauvin guilty. This is only the beginning….
