We need to talk about Derek Chauvin. We need to talk about the life he stole and the people he terrorized and the institutions that trained him and armed him and sent him out on our streets. We need to talk about Black Lives Matter. About Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirits. About Minneapolis children gunned down as they bounce on trampolines or ride to grandma's house. We need to talk about the bigots who punch elderly Asian Americans on the sidewalks and the lawmakers who bully transgender kids in the middle of Pride month. On Friday, a judge sentenced Chauvin to 22½ years behind bars for the agonizing on-camera murder of George Floyd. That sentence could be the start of the conversation.
