Commentary: After Chauvin Verdict, Time to Get to Work By Lorenzo Norris, MD
April 22, 2021 On Tuesday, April 20, the country braced for the impact of the verdict in the murder trial of George Floyd. If we are completely honest, the country and particularly the African-American community had significant doubts the jury would render a guilty verdict, despite overwhelming evidence presented by prosecutors.
In the hour leading up to the announcement, people and images dominated my thoughts Tamir Rice, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, Rayshard Brooks, and most recently, Daunte Wright.

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) The Nevada state Senate on Monday voted unanimously in favor of a proposal to allow pharmacists to provide patients birth control without authorization from a doctor or health care provider with a traditional prescription pad.
Senate Bill 190 proposes expanding the scope of services that pharmacists can provide to ensure people who cannot access doctor s appointments because of costs or the state s physician shortage can obtain hormonal contraceptives including pills, patches or rings directly from a pharmacy.
It would have to pass the Democrat-controlled Assembly and be signed by Gov. Steve Sisolak before becoming law.
