On April 20 at a little after 5 p.m., justice was done. A white police officer was convicted of the killing of a black man. All it took was a trial that lasted for three weeks; 40 witnesses, many of whom were bystanders who witnessed the life snuffed out of the black man; members of the white officer’s department testifying against him; conclusive evidence from multiple sources that established that the white officer’s actions were the cause of the black man’s death; and multiple videos of the event, especially one from a 17-year-old bystander who had at least intuited the importance of what she witnessed.
