JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After the guilty verdict was announced Tuesday in the case of former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin, demonstrations took place across the country.
As the verdict was read, a rally was taking place in Jacksonville to call for the names of nine Duval County schools, including Robert E. Lee High School, to be changed. American Civil Liberties Union legal observers were in attendance.
According to the ACLU, legal observers do not participate in protests but act as “neutral observers of law enforcement in the protests. They keep notes, document events.”

In the months between George Floyd’s death last May and Tuesday’s murder conviction against former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin, New Jersey made significant changes to how local police do their jobs.
The use of body cameras has expanded, as has the public’s access to information about violent encounters with police. There will soon be new limits on when cops can use physical force, and officers face stiff penalties if they illegally search a young person caught with marijuana.

Former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted Tuesday of murder and manslaughter for pinning George Floyd to the pavement with his knee on the black man’s neck in a case that triggered worldwide protests, violence and a furious reexamination of racism and policing in the U.S.
Chauvin, 45, was immediately led away with his hands cuffed behind his back and could be sent to prison for decades.
The verdict – guilty as charged on all counts, in a relatively swift, across-the-board victory for Floyd’s supporters – set off jubilation mixed with sorrow across the city and around the nation. Hundreds of people poured into the streets of Minneapolis, some running through traffic with banners. Drivers blared their horns in celebration.
