On May 25, 2020, George Floyd’s killing at the hands of police in Minneapolis, Minn., was caught on camera by a teen bystander, Darnella Frazier. The footage of Floyd’s death sparked anguish, widespread protests and calls to reimagine American policing.
One year later, Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes with three other now-former officers present, has been convicted of murder, but criminal justice and civil rights experts say the challenges of addressing systemic racism and achieving broader accountability in American policing remain.
