LaTanya Campbell, of Wausau, founder of LPRC Diversity Consulting Services and coordinator of Transitional Living Program at The Women s Community:
As I anticipate the verdict, I have feelings of chills and nausea. I am busying myself, but I find, at times, I am not breathing. The verdict should be guilty on all counts. This is a no-brainer; after all, it was caught on camera and viewed by millions of people from all over the world. This was not the first unarmed African American man killed or brutalized by the police on camera, but it was the first time I heard others in blue acknowledge and condemn this dehumanizing behavior. Although it is a no-brainer to me, history shows the lives of black people do not matter.

Wisconsin activists, community leaders and politicians reacted to today s verdict in the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
Throughout the trial, jurors heard two strikingly different arguments:
Prosecutors argued that Chauvin s knee, which was pressed against the 46-year-old Floyd s neck while he was handcuffed and face-down on the street, led to his death. The defense claimed that Floyd s underlying heart issues and the methamphetamine and fentanyl in his system caused his death as he struggled with police.
