Under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer for more than nine minutes, George Floyd said time and again he couldn’t breathe.
Nearly 11 months later, his family can finally exhale.
A sense of relief mixed with jubilation was palpable among Floyd’s relatives Tuesday after a Minneapolis jury found the man accused of killing him guilty on all three charges, including second-degree murder.
The family thanked the legions of advocates and protesters who pursued justice since Floyd died last May 25 while handcuffed and pinned to the ground by Derek Chauvin. They also vowed to continue fighting for those who have been unjustly killed by law enforcement.
