Yesterday Derek Chauvin was held accountable (being found guilty on all counts) for the brutal murder of George Floyd but as many have pointed out being held accountable and justice occurring are not the same thing. The systems which led to Derek Chauvin becoming a murder are still in place and therefore we can not say that justice has occurred.
Justice will only occur
When the murder of individuals by the police stops
The police can't murder anyone else
Justice will only occur
When the systems that surround us
Are actively anti-racist
Justice will only occur
When law officials can do there job
Without murdering others over and over again
Justice will only occur
When we no longer have such a high bar
Before holding others accountable
Multiple angles of clear video evidence
Multiple eye witness testimonies including other police officers
An independent autopsy report and a worldwide protest movement
Justice will only occur
When the murder of individuals by the police stops
The police can't murder anyone else
