Chauvin, a 45-year-old white man, was convicted of Floyd’s murder Tuesday, with a jury finding him guilty on all three charges he faced: one count of second-degree unintentional murder, one count of third-degree murder and and one count of second-degree manslaughter. At a news conference after Chauvin was convicted, several members of Floyd’s family celebrated the verdict — expressing relief at the outcome — and echoed calls for police reform “to make sure not another family has to suffer what we suffered.”

They have at least 27 million reasons...

I am white and I am GLAD to see this police was convicted on all charges. We cannot allow police or any person to do this to others. Yet the violence of the riots, looting, beating up people, all over this country, white and black and the democrats don't do a dam thing.

Except at nearly the exact same time as the verdict THIS happened.
