The guilty charges for former police officer Derek Chauvin in the murder of George Floyd show police are held accountable, Hennepin County Sheriff Dave Hutchinsonsaid Wednesday.
“Nobody is above the law,” he emphasized.
Hopefully, now everyone can heal, Hutchinson said, adding that officers are stressed and tired after a monthslong effort called Operation Safety Net. It brought the National Guard and many state and local entities together to ensure public safety during the Chauvin trial.
