George Floyd murder: Beyonce, Oprah and Viola Davis among stars hailing Derek Chauvin guilty verdict

Winfrey wrote on her social media sites:"Relieved and emotional in ways I didn't expect. I cried tears of joy as each verdict was read. I'm grateful to the witnesses and their testimonies."

Winfrey expressed her gratitude to Darnella Frazier, the teenager who filmed Chauvin kneeling on Floyd, as well as the jurors"for seeing and acknowledging what the world saw on that tape". Oscar-winner Davis, who is once again up for best actress at this year's Academy Awards, shared a painting of Floyd and said:"GUILTY!!!! As it should be!! Now....Rest In Peace George Floyd. Rest. You and your family have been vindicated.", who rose to international attention following her address during Joe Biden's inauguration, tweeted: The fact that we know what the verdict SHOULD be but remain unsure of what it WILL be speaks volumes about our nation. We have work to do.

Scandal and Django Unchained actress Washington wrote on Instagram:"A guilty #verdict. But this fight for justice is not over. We have a lot of work to do. There is more fight ahead of us."Darnella Frazier is a hero. Her bravery in that moment must never be forgotten. We lift you up Darnella.JUSTICE for George! The emotions I feel right now are hard to describe. Derek Chauvin has been found guilty.

Are they also going to admit that George Floyd was a dangerous criminal, law and order still has to be upheld, just because they have skin colour does not make them exempt from arrest.

RIP angel

Avete santificato un criminale. Certo nessuno deve uccidere il reato più grande contro l'umanità. Ma esistono genocidi che non fanno notizia. Siete solo dei giornalai

Justice to George floyd family & friends ❤️ and hopefully it sends a clear message to every police office around the world especially in America that no police office is above the law 👊🏾

There's thousands of other names yet to still fight for past, present and future, there's nothing to hail yet except for a modicum of justice for one family. Peace for the Floyds.

As we're the media.

When the police killed a whole life scum ....headline should be

Why

A correct verdict but let’s not elevate George Floyd to Sainthood

I wonder if they would have hailed the verdict if they were ever one of George Floyd's victims?
