Jason Johnson is right:
That it took the very detailed proof of the world's seeing 9:29 minutes, means that it takes THAT to get a guilty verdict. This is nothing to feel good about because...
This is not the system working. There will still be young black people murdered after today, tomorrow and the future.

Michael Steele is right:
This is about George Floyd's family.
This moment can't just be about "the next case." It has to be about how the system works for us.
This jury said that, this time, it works for black people.
