The Derek Chauvin trial is retraumatizing Black Americans.

It’s been more than 300 days since Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pinned down George Floyd’s neck but time hasn’t dampened the mental anguish of seeing a Black man die under the weight of a white man sworn to protect the public.
Instead, Chauvin’s criminal trial, which began on March 29 and is expected to continue for weeks, has only heightened the emotional toll of the disturbing event.
Chauvin faces charges of manslaughter and murder, and to make their case that Floyd died because Chauvin used excessive force prosecutors have been relying heavily on the 9-minute, 29-second video that captured Floyd’s final moments. They’ve replayed it over and over to the courtroom, and to all those watching the proceedings live on television. The video’s been slowed down, it’s been rewound, and witnesses have been repeatedly asked to identify themselves in the footage.
