Vice President Kamala Harris said that while the jury in former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s trial may have found him guilty of murdering George Floyd, their verdict is not enough to “heal the pain that existed for generations.”
“Let’s say there is a guilty verdict on the highest charge, it will not take away the pain of the Floyd family. It will not take away the pain of the communities, all communities, regardless of their color or geographic location, that felt sadness and anger in what they witnessed in that video,” Harris told CNN on Tuesday shortly before Chauvin was convicted on all charges.
While Harris signaled that the “consequence and accountability” for Chauvin is a step in the right direction, she continued to spout off why judicial justice won’t remedy the “pain” caused by years of what she has previously called rogue policing.
“This verdict is but a piece of it and it will not heal the pain that existed for generations, that has existed for generations among people who have experienced and first-hand witnessed what now a broader public is seeing because of smartphones and the ubiquity of our ability to videotape in real-time what is happening in front of our faces. And that is the reality of it,” Harris continued.
Others echoed Harris’s words after the jury’s verdict was announced on Tuesday afternoon. The vice president’s sister Maya Harris claimed that a “just verdict is not the same as justice.”
Let’s be clear: A just verdict is not the same as justice.

Activist groups were also quick to note that while they were happy with the guilty on all charges verdict, “the conviction of Derek Chauvin doesn’t absolve policing as a whole.”
Our hearts are with the family of #GeorgeFloyd and the millions who have acted in defense of Black lives over the past 11 months. A moment of relief is here for many as the trial is over, yet the conviction of Derek Chauvin doesn’t absolve policing as a whole. #DefundThePolice

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison qualified his words in a press conference shortly after Chauvin was taken away in handcuffs.
“I would not call today’s verdict justice, however, because justice implies restoration. But it is accountability,” he said.

What the H*** does she want?! Is Crucifixion good enough?! /sarc>
[...] President Harris just greenlighted the national race war.
Gun control is, seriously, a dead issue.
That’s what Willie Brown always said.
"Crucifixion?"
"Yes!"
"Good!"
Yup.
Impeached and removed.
Insolvency / Bankruptcy for the US Government is probably the only thing which could save the Republic at this point.
Well, Kamalong then, show us what you got.
I’m gonna puke! The biggest racists and facilitators aside from the Demonrat Party is the 2 rats in the White House. Something’s going to have to give before 2022. They’re destroying America.......drip, drip, drip
It will never be enough to satisfy the race hustlers.
Well when government sides with the thugs
They have abdicated their enumerated powers derived from The People. We take them back and deal with the problem ourselves if we have to. If government fails in their duties, the power reverts back to us. Its that simple.
It wil be much more chaotic for awhile but i think a lot of long overdue housecleaning will get done at the same time.
Can’t these people be happy? What is enough? They can even identify what they want because they put things into terms like communities and race. They think in commie terms, such as collectives. The problem with that is collectives don’t have feelings. Invividuals do. Their thinking is so screwed up and they pass it on to one helpless generation after another when all they need to do is take personal responsibility for their own happiness, their own success.
“We must kill and eat Chauvin’s heart,” added Harris...
You forgot the glass of Chianti and the side of Fava Beans. ;)
Man, I HATE this America-Hating bish. I cannot believe she is VP of the United States of America in a time when I am still alive! I was banking on this stuff to happen AFTER my demise.
Grrrr!
[ Bankruptcy for the US Government ]
With the debt the way it is, that part is a certainty.
Unfunded liabilities closing in on 163 trillion dollars. (162.68+ trillion).
Satan’s earthly kingdom is in full gear using willing vessels to do his evil deeds. However, we know the end of HIStory . . . the Victory through Jesus Christ has already been won. Now is the day of Salvation.
It will never be enough until whitey is exterminated
Willie’s whore needs to shut her **** sucking mouth.
And they have almost succeeded and have gasslighted the entire planet as they prepare for our destruction. Tucker Carlson's show tonight covered a number of these statements and also, how close they are to success. There was conservative rebuttal, but nothing effective.
Yup.
Can’t negotiate with a group which refuses to state terms of satisfaction.
Humans treat each other like $#!^.
Portraying that as “because I’m ______”, when we get to the ‘microaggression’ level, makes it impossible to resolve.
Impossible to resolve, coupled with refusal to address resolution, can only lead to war.
