... jury verdict. I have an opinion and a hope for the verdict. I’m interested in the trial. But what I’d like to see come out of trial regardless of verdict is nationwide retraining and enhanced training of police in use of force. Can’t bring Floyd back to life but can ...
... prevent innocent deaths in the future. Floyd was and still innocent as is everybody as a suspect until proven innocent by a jury. But so is Chauvin which is why he’s in a trial in front of a jury now. There will be police who die in the future just as suspects because ...
