April 21, 2021 Share Cheers, tears and fear were among reactions in the U.S. to the news that former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted Tuesday in the death of George Floyd, a Black man, who was prone and handcuffed when he died. In some neighborhoods and along highways, people held up signs to celebrate the guilty verdicts on three charges in connection to Floyd’s death. Community leaders and activists who say they are fighting to reform policing in the U.S. say Floyd’s final moments, captured on phone videos, have galvanized people worldwide about issues of race and law enforcement. The verdict, they say, is a moment to recognize what people have experienced and what needs to be done.
