GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Leaders of a Grand Rapids group aimed at stopping police injustice say the murder verdict in George Floyd’s death brings hope, but more work is needed to curb police wrongdoing.
A handful of people initially showed up in downtown Grand Rapids just minutes after the verdict came down at 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 20 against former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. He was convicted of three counts, including second-degree murder.
A leader with the Grand Rapids group Justice for Black Lives raised his fist in the air and shouted ’guilty!” as reporters stood nearby.
