In announcing today's news that Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin had been found guilty of murdering George Floyd, Political Wire's Teagan Goddard made this comment:
Remember that George Floyd’s killing was documented on video for more than nine minutes and yet we were still worried that Derek Chauvin might get off.
Which is as sad as it is true: we've seen this movie before.
Today, the ending was different, and a small measure of justice occurred.
But we still have a long way to go.
