Leaders in Hampton Roads and across Virginia are reacting after former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd.
It was the explosive case that triggered worldwide protests, violence, and a furious reexamination of racism and policing in the U.S.
Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement: “While nothing will bring George Floyd back to his family and loved ones, the verdict was just. Derek Chauvin was afforded the due process that George Floyd was denied and found guilty by a jury of his peers. This verdict is a start, but it does not absolve Congress and the federal government of our responsibility to reform policing across the country, and it is a reminder of the need for the Senate to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.”
