In Rhode Island, public reaction to the conviction of a former Minneapolis police officer in the death of George Floyd was unanimous.
From top elected officials to leaders in law enforcement, higher education and community organizers, the response to Derek Chauvin being found guilty on all counts in Floyd’s death was one of resounding support.
“Justice was served today,’’ Rhode Island Gov. Daniel McKee and Lt. Gov. Sabina Matos said in a joint statement issued shortly after the verdict on Tuesday.
