MILWAUKEE, April 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/
Circa welcomes the guilty verdict in George Floyd s murder trial and commends the 12 Minnesota jurors who upheld the rule of law.
As a company that believes in the transformative power of diversity, Circa is steadfast in its belief that people are all created equal; and government, including law enforcement should provide all citizens equal protection under the law, regardless of race. Racism needs to end with our generation. Change begins with you and me, and it begins now. - Roselle Rogers, VP Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Circa
Circa is cognizant of the fact that one guilty verdict does not change make. It s unsettling to think of what direction things may have gone had the verdict been different. Sadly, our nation gets to do this again in August when the three other policemen are tried. Then, in the midst of all this, Daunte Wright is killed in the hands of another police officer. And another, and another.
