The verdict had hardly been announced Tuesday in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd before Jewish reactions began pouring in. Chauvin, a white man, kept his knee on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes last May, leading to the Black man’s death and sparking a national reckoning about systemic racism in policing. On Tuesday, a jury found Chauvin guilty on two charges of murder and one of manslaughter. The San Francisco-based Jewish Community Relations Council sent out an email stating: “JCRC is grateful that justice has been served with guilty verdicts on all three counts for Derek Chauvin in the murder of George Floyd. We join in praying for justice, healing and peace for communities nationwide. The work, however, is far from over. Our Jewish values compel us to pursue justice for the people who suffer because of racism, including in our own community. We will continue to advocate for efforts to reform our criminal justice system and uproot hatred and bias. JCRC calls on Jews near and far to join us in this fight.”
