Is the appropriate sentence. Today former mams Police Officer zerk Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22 1 2 years in prison for the Nurd R Murder Last May of george floyd.

And to have had not only the conviction but to have had this landmark sentence today, i mean, that number is going to mean Something Different to everybody who is looking at it, but to have the judge conclude that on a
