OXFORD campaigners have welcomed the guilty verdict of ex-police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, but say more needs to be done to eradicate racism. Chauvin kneeled on the neck of the African-American man for more than nine minutes during an arrest in the city of Minneapolis in May 2020, ignoring pleas that he could not breathe. Mr Floyd’s death sparked protests not only in the US, but in the UK - including Oxford - and around the world. Following a three-week trial, last Tuesday a jury found Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter.
