One thing I am feeling is resilient : Minneapolis community leaders look toward long-term goals amid Chauvin trial By Brandi Kellam CBSN
The moment that has been on hearts and minds for nearly a month in the city of Minneapolis has finally arrived as it was announced on Tuesday afternoon a verdict has been reached in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with murder in the death of George Floyd.
Three Minneapolis leaders who spoke to CBS News during last summer protests, tell us that while they are cautiously optimistic about the outcome, they are preparing for a verdict on either side.

It is now the second week of testimony in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer charged in the death of George Floyd.
Jerome Treadwell, a 16-year-old junior at Highland Park High School in St. Paul is just one of many young people watching the trial unfold. It s a little bit of an optimistic feeling, said Treadwell, who is also president of the Youth Council in St. Paul.
He said it s been difficult to watch the Chauvin trial. Personally, I m emotional. The teen who had to witness that, and was recording that, like I immediately put myself in his or her position as they took the stand, Treadwell said, referring to 18-year-old Darnella Frazier, who testified last week.

Sometime around noon on the day after George Floyd died while pleading for breath under a police officer s knee, Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo summoned his top staff to a meeting in his office.
He told them that he was leaning toward firing the officer, Derek Chauvin, and three of his colleagues who were involved in Floyd s arrest, but that he wanted a second opinion before any decision, according to interviews and documents describing the nature of the meeting obtained by the Star Tribune.
In terminating the officers less than 24 hours after Floyd s death, Arradondo moved more quickly and decisively than his predecessors, who in some cases waited weeks or months to discipline officers for alleged misconduct and even then only after intense public pressure.
