BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - After former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted Tuesday, April 20, of murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, people started giving their reactions and some of those came from Louisiana officials.
Gov. John Bel Edwards released a statement:
“Today, I am thankful that the criminal justice system dispensed justice to George Floyd’s family and to society.
While today’s verdict will not bring George Floyd back, nor will it erase years of damaging racism and violence, it is a positive step forward that Derek Chauvin was held fully accountable for Floyd’s death.

BATON ROUGE - After a less than stellar turnout over the weekend, local leaders are still hoping droves of residents will eventually make use of the new, federally funded Mass Vaccine Site on Florida Boulevard.
With herd immunity as the goal, local officials say they re ramping up efforts to educate the public about the two COVID-19 vaccines that are available to U.S. residents, and encouraging these individuals to be inoculated as quickly as possible.
