Chauvin killed Floyd last May after kneeling on his neck for over 9 minutes during an arrest. Video captured the entire ordeal as Floyd repeated the phrase I can t breathe to no avail from the arresting officer Chauvin or the other officers at the scene. George Floyd should be alive today, said New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy in a statement released following the verdict. While today s verdict provides some measure of justice and accountability, systemic racism is still pervasive in American life. We must continue to fight for justice.
The Tri-State area was rocked last summer by protests against police brutality and riots in the wake of Floyd s death. Local lawmakers on Tuesday afternoon expressed agreement that the Chauvin guilty verdict was a relief, and a step in the direction of racial justice, but not the end of the conversation amplified by Floyd s murder.
