San Diegans react to the Derek Chauvin sentence
Activists in San Diego said the judge s sentence of 22.5 years for former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin appeared to be fair but not nearly enough. Author: Heather Hope (Reporter) Updated: 7:23 PM PDT June 25, 2021
SAN DIEGO Rev. Shane Harris said he spoke to George Floyd s cousin Gary Jones, a U.S. Navy sailor stationed in San Diego about how he felt about the sentencing of Derek Chauvin.
“The family feels, and I know particularly with Gary, they really wanted to see some level of sentencing that was reasonable and 22 1/2 years is a long enough time for someone like Derek Chauvin to sit in a cell, and think about what he has done. There is some level of closure, it is obvious that it is not at the level they would want it to be,” said Shane Harris, activist and CEO of People s Association of Justice Advocates.

BELLEFONTE The 16-member Solid Waste Advisory Committee was appointed during Tuesday’s Centre County commissioners’ meeting. Joanne Shafer, deputy executive director and recycling coordinator of the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority, spoke during the meeting, which was held via Zoom.
“It is an open-ended commitment,” Shafer explained. “Our hope would be to follow through at least until a new contract is executed. At that point, the committee would still exist, but it would be rendered inactive.”
Commissioner Steve Dershem questioned the open-ended committment.
“I would feel more comfortable if there was a stop date certain on here,” Dershem said.

In the summer of 2020, when COVID-19 was rapidly surging throughout the nation, prison officials at Soledad State Prison off the central coast of California pulled a highly illegal and brutal show of force, now known as “Operation Akili,” that ended with serious injuries to incarcerated men and soon after led to a massive spike in coronavirus cases within the facility.
The men were rounded up and zip-tied behind their backs after being thrown from their beds in the middle of their sleep. They were taken to the chow hall where they were forced to sit, four men to a small table, for six hours straight.
