A handful of people gathered in Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza near the Arizona Capitol in downtown Phoenix on Wednesday to call for police reform in the wake of former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin being convicted of murdering George Floyd last year.
Janelle Wood, a local organizer and founder of Black Mothers Forum, said that she's glad Chauvin was convicted on all charges, but that is not enough.
"What we had was a piece of justice, but it's not fully justice, it's accountability," Wood said. "But who was it that held him accountable? It was the community, the jurors, the citizens."
