The murder conviction of former police officer Derek Chauvin exacted a measure of justice for George Floyd, whose killing on a Minneapolis street was an at once extreme and all too familiar case of law enforcement violence against Black people. Tuesday’s verdict followed a thorough prosecution and underwhelming defense that confirmed the impression of indefensible brutality left by a bystander’s video of Floyd’s 9½-minute asphyxiation under Chauvin’s knee, which sent countless Americans to the streets in protest last summer.

People looking for a spot of grass in San Francisco to celebrate the nationally recognized marijuana holiday Tuesday won’t be able to find any at Golden Gate Park, where the annual party has been canceled.
Barriers have been erected around the park in anticipation of April 20, when throngs usually converge on its popular Hippie Hill.
“Although we’re in a better place in our fight against COVID-19 than we were last year, we are still not at the point where we can allow large, crowded events,” San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a statement. “Please do your part to keep our community safe and celebrate from home. Anyone traveling to Golden Gate Park or Hippie Hill looking for a party will be disappointed.”
