The nation is bracing for a verdict in Derek Chauvin’s trial over the death of George Floyd, as racial tensions are roiled by two other shocking police killings.
Closing arguments in Chauvin’s trial are expected Monday, after which the jury will begin its deliberations. Chauvin, now 45, was a Minneapolis police officer when he was filmed kneeling on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes during a May arrest. Floyd was declared dead at a nearby hospital.
Justice has been surrendered to political expedience and the mob so I anticipate a guilty verdict which will or should mitigate the rioting.
