Your Turn: Police cannot continue to treat minorities as inferior Recently, the world witnessed a murder trial involving former police officer Derek Chauvin who was witnessed by the world as he knelt on the neck of a Black male suspect who was accused of allegedly passing off a counterfeit currency. The act that was committed lends itself to much other police brutality where officers have escaped consequences. Is it the body camera footage, private cell phone footage, or simply the publics’ exhaustion of these acts, why he was convicted shortly following closing arguments? Perhaps the “Blue Wall of Silence” was overshadowed by calls for justice. I understand the publics’ frustration very well, as I too am frustrated with the criminal justice system.
