In the wake of former Minneapolis Police Department officer Derek Chauvin being found guilty of the murder of George Floyd, four campus professors discussed the verdict’s impact and how policing should change to better support communities of color during a virtual Berkeley Conversations event Tuesday. Titled “Thinking About Race, Racism, and Policing After the Chauvin Verdict,” the event was introduced by Raka Ray, UC Berkeley’s dean of the Division of Social Sciences, and moderated by Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law. Mike Williams, a campus administrator and alumnus, spoke on the verdict’s impact as well as his racist encounters with UCPD as a Black man.
