#GeorgeFloyd was murdered. We knew that the moment we watched the video of his death. Today’s verdict affirms this truth and gives our nation a chance for justice. THREAD 
While no verdict could erase the trauma of losing a loved one, I hope that this provides some sense of closure to George Floyd’s family. 2/7
I hope it provides hope for the families of Black men and women who have lost their lives to a broken system; a system that has failed both communities of color and the brave men and women of law enforcement. 3/7
We should use this moment as a nation to come together and recognize the work to be done. We should not have to rely on just a jury to seek justice for a Black American wrongly killed. 4/7
We should take steps as policy makers at all levels of government to fix our systems so that this never happens again. The power to change is in our hands. 5/7
We can do better for communities of color to make them safe in their own neighborhoods. For law enforcement to give them the training and support needed to better protect the places they serve. 6/7
And for a new generation of Americans who are looking to us to fix the injustices of the past and chart a new way forward. END
