NORTHAMPTON In the wake of George Floyd’s murder last May, Jasmine Sinclair organized a Black Trans Lives Matter protest against racism and police brutality that drew more than 4,000 people to downtown Northampton.
On Tuesday, she was sitting outside Big Y supermarket after grocery shopping when her aunt texted her the news: former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin had been found guilty on all three counts related to Floyd’s death.
“I’m surprised the prosecutors put away one of their own,” Sinclair said on Wednesday. “I’m not that impressed, but I’m glad. There needs to be more work done.”
