Moments after clear and uncompromising consequences were levied on Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, for the murder of George Floyd, the new American president made himself plain: “It’s not enough. We can’t stop here.”
Earlier in the day, Biden had explicitly conveyed his wish that the jury (while sequestered) find the “right verdict,” and after the full suite of guilty verdicts were read, Biden phoned the victim’s family: “I think in [Floyd’s daughter] Gianna’s comment, ‘my dad is going to change the world.” He’s going to start to change it now.”
