Ex-cop Chauvin convicted on all counts in George Floyd's murder Adam M. Taylor and Erik Larson Bloomberg News Stefani Reynolds/Bloomberg A demonstrator raises their fist at Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of killing George Floyd. Business, local leaders react Leaders from around Michigan reacted to the verdict in the George Floyd murder case: Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan: "The criminal justice system doesn't always work, but it worked today for the family of George Floyd. I was proud of Chief James Craig last May when he became the first big city police chief to call the death of Mr. Floyd what it was: murder. Now a year later, today's verdict sent a message that this country, including many police officials who testified at the trial, will not tolerate the type of treatment that Blacks and other people of color too often receive from police in too many cities."
