The judge in Derek Chauvin’s trial mentioned on Monday the concept of “implicit bias.” That term can be a touchy one for some people, but we reached out to Dallas’ Center for Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation to talk about what that term really means and how to recognize it in ourselves.
The resolution came amid a backlash mounting over Ms. Waters’ call on Saturday for protesters in Minnesota to “get more confrontational” unless Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, was found guilty of murder in the May 25 death of George Floyd.
“Every single House Democrat just voted to stand with Maxine Waters,” tweeted House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, Louisiana Republican. “They made it clear: Democrats are fine with Democrat politicians inciting violence and chaos.”
Chauvin, 45, was found guilty Tuesday on all three counts unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter after a 14-day trial in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis.

Chauvin is being housed under administrative segregation status for the fired Minneapolis police officer s own safety while being held at the Oak Park Heights Prison until sentencing in June. Chauvin was found guilty Tuesday on all charges in the 2020 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin spent his first night in prison since his conviction for murdering George Floyd segregated from the other inmates, a Minnesota Department of Corrections spokeswoman said Wednesday, April 21.
People took to the streets in Minneapolis and other cities across the U.S. to celebrate the verdict in the Derek Chauvin Trial, with the jury finding the former police officer guilty on two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter in George Floyd’s death.

The historic guilty verdicts against Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd particularly resonated among Twin Cities activists, who call it the opening round in a struggle to end decades, if not centuries, of police violence inflicted on people of color.
Some said the jury decision that convicted Chauvin on all three murder and manslaughter counts in Hennepin County District Court, saved the city, and perhaps the country, of a conflagration that would have erupted, had he been found innocent. Murders of people of color have been going on for years and years, not only in the Black community, but in the native community, said Clyde Bellecourt, a founder of the American Indian Movement.
