LAKELAND — Polk County civil rights leaders were pleased with Tuesday’s verdicts of guilty on all counts against former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin following a three-week trial for the death of George Floyd. “Justice was served,” said Terry Coney, the Lakeland president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. “Through our judicial system, it proves that a police officer can be found guilty of an atrocious incident that happened to George Floyd and it wasn’t brushed aside. Floyd, 46, was a Black man killed in May last year during an arrest after a store clerk alleged he had passed a counterfeit $20 bill. Chauvin, one of four police officers who arrived on the scene, knelt on the neck and back of Floyd, who as handcuffed, for nine minutes and 29 seconds. Floyd begged for relief, saying, "I can't breathe," and calling for his mother.
