In light of the guilty verdict against former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, some local police and community leaders believe the national rhetoric needs to be toned down.
“We need to lower the rhetoric, turn down the volume,” said Steven W. Cappelli, South Williamsport borough manager and borough public safety director.
In aftermath of this week’s verdict against Chauvin, who knelt on the neck of George Floyd for more than nine minutes last year, murdering Floyd while a crowd watched, Cappelli and others said they are concerned about broad brush strokes that have been painted on law enforcement.
