Politicians, rights activists and family members and even world leaders reacted with jubilation and relief Tuesday as sacked Minneapolis policeman Derek Chauvin was convicted of the murder of George Floyd, a Black man who died when the officer knelt on his neck for more than nine minutes last year.
Here are some the immediate reactions following the announcement of the guilty verdicts on all three counts second degree murder, third degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Nothing is going to make it all better but at least, God, now there s some justice. We re all so relieved not just the one verdict but all three, guilty on all three counts. - Biden on a call to the Floyd family
Jewish groups and leaders took to social media following the Derek Chauvin verdict with expressions of relief, joy and calls for systemic change in the wake of the trial.
“Thank God justice has been served in this case,” Rabbi Jill Jacobs, executive director of T’ruah, a rabbinic organization for human rights, tweeted. “And there’s so much work to do to fix the racist systems that led to this murder and so many others.”
None of us will be free until we replace these systems of injustice with systems of righteousness. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd#BlackLivesMatter T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights (@truahrabbis) April 20, 2021
