THE ROOT: Justice, I Guess.

[kpete]

.................

George Floyd played basketball. George Floyd fathered five children. George Floyd prayed. George Floyd danced. He made people laugh. He also spent more than a third of his twenties in various cages for possessing less than a teaspoon of the illegal substance or for the theft of somewhere between $50 or $500. This was a normal solution for Black people who lived in the government-created poor part of the richest country in the world. To escape, George Floyd moved away from the poor place in the rich country.

When he arrived in Minnesota, he was alive...

Until he met Derek Chauvin...

................

..... On Tuesday, April 20, 2021, a jury decided that Derek Chauvin was a murderer, and everyone cheered. All it took was 6 eyewitnesses, 5 camera angles, four experts, three of Chauvin’s fellow police officers testifying against him and a prosecutor who was willing to prosecute.
