Reaction to Derek Chauvin’s Sentence & His Mother’s Statement Praising Him
During his sentencing hearing, Derek Chauvin’s mother praised her son as “a quiet, thoughtful, honorable, and selfless man.” She also showed no remorse for her son’s actions and did not even acknowledge George Floyd’s family.
According to @michellehope, “To not even acknowledge that speaks volumes to the type of environment that person was probably raised in.”

Why Is It So Hard To Convict A Cop?
When asked why it is so hard to convict a police officer of a crime, @shavarjeffries says, “The challenges are related to the very close, if not incestuous, relationship between police and prosecutors, which is exacerbated by what is called the ‘blue wall of silence’ — where police are very resistant to testify against one another.”

“Justice Will Never Be Served”
On the latest episode of “Be Heard Talk,” @msselenahill says, “Justice will never be served — or at least the way I envision justice. However, I do think we can make the world more just for future generations.” In order to do so, she says we must continue to rally, petition, march, and call our elected officials. We have to “keep the same energy if we want to protect the most marginalized communities.”
