Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont released a video statement on Twitter following Tuesday s verdict
Leaders from across the Northeast released statements Tuesday after a jury found former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin guilty of murdering George Floyd.
Some of those statements follow:
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo: The verdicts delivered today were a powerful statement of accountability. George Floyd s family and his loved ones got well-deserved closure, and all of us who deeply and personally felt his loss gained hope in the possibility of progress. But while I m grateful that the jury returned these verdicts, accountability is not the same as justice. It doesn t make an unacceptable situation acceptable, and it doesn t bring Gianna s dad back. But it must fuel our continued march towards equity. Emmett Till. Medgar Evers. Rodney King. Amadou Diallo. Sean Bell. Trayvon Martin. Eric Garner. Michael Brown. Philando Castile. Ahmaud Arbery. Breonna Taylor. George Floyd.
