What Chauvin Conviction Means For Police Reform In America | NBC Nightly News

it means those jurors were afraid to do the right thing.

Message to our black children is about survival.. as pragmatist.. Where does courage lie?

[ChannelNews]

I think the defense made a huge mistake and missed an opportunity in
this trial. They rested too early. I posted in length what I think on my
home page video. Please let me know what you think. Thanks

All actors on screen playing their roles

A big problem no one is talking about, is police encrypting their radios.

[drianarvaez]

The rush to judgement in every case is ridiculousness even when the evidence is clear to see. The waters are murky at best and we are being bombarded daily. It may be time to unplug from the 24/7 cycle of hate, outrage and violence.

Great victory his family received 27 million dollars let's see how much goes to help their brothers community and changing the laws.

Police and fire departments. Please check which private mutual fund is managing your pension fund. Look into the investment they selected. I think many of them are tech companies which are rallying against you. You need to hurt them where the money is.

It’s truly sad and unfortunate how a confrontation can go from bad to worse....
Why is it people involved in illegal activity would rather fight and resist when confronted by the law.
Many would still be alive today, both Police and those illegal activity offenders that wouldn’t obey at all.
It’s being responsible for our actions, not race, nationality, political affiliation or even the color of our skin.
Police, Military and First Responders keep us safe, respecting these dedicated men and women is where it must begin.

This conviction may well be a turning point, but there's plenty of actions to take place for there to be any proof for the reality of change to even exist as acceptance.

[utesandoval]

The appeals court ruling will be the final one..then we can dare to use the word"justice"..don't celebrate quite yet
.

[DigitalPlacebo]

Meanwhile recently in the news a police woman accidentally shoots and kills someone with her gun thinking it was her taser. But will she be convicted for accidentally shooting and killing someone the same as anyone else would or will she gets special treatment because the broken system is built to support her.

May the ones screaming for reform of the police should look at one how they have taught their kids how to act when confronted by a officer and how they act. I was taught to respect them no matter what and if I had a problem with one to deal with it in court. Maybe the ones screaming for reform the most should start with reform in their own homes.

[georgemichaelbluth]

Real reform should start with sentencing changes for resisting arrest and fleeing from the police. Each should be treated as a felony and come with a mandatory 5 year prison sentence regardless of the outcome of the original charges. If all officers have body cams this will be easy to prove.

[empressionshouse]

It’s means nothing until country wide Laws are passed

[viking]

Get rid of police unions and qualified immunity because that’s what’s destroying American 🇺🇸...!!!

[jackparker]

I have to say again and again as a black man... we must do right... No one should ever run back to their car to retrieve nothing or a gun.... Inundation must be hammered... that must be the message for the children.... the message first to the adults.

[musicmaniac]

The cop they interviewed sure didn't care for the verdict

[vanemeranh]

World aid relief for the tragedy of the Asian and Indian people to defeat Covid 19

[ericdave]

Symbolic victories at its finest. I bet you there will be another hashtag involving a black man and a white police officer the next day.
