Jim Mone / AP Communities of color battle with a loss of hope as they seek justice for the death of George Floyd, another Black man who died at the hands of a white police officer. Twin City African American leaders say they have guarded optimism as they watch Derek Chauvin’s murder trial, while police in Bloomington-Normal say they also want bad cops removed from the ranks. Bloomington-Normal Black Lives Matter leader Olivia Butts said watching police officer Chauvin stand trial for killing Floyd feels like reliving the tragedy again. Olivia Butts Credit courtesy “It transported me back to those initial feelings that a lot of folks had in the summer of 2020. Having the trial now is kind of reopening some of those old wounds that haven t healed for a lot of people and it’s just reminding folks that justice has not been done,” Butts said. We re reminded of that every day that this trial continues.”
