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.

The communist are in full control. They are and will use race and ‘systemic racism’ to do whatever they want. There is not enough courage to stop it.
I just took a “Kamala Harris” before I saw this. Now I need to go back to the head to do it again.
Here is a woman who is NOT BLACK (except for a minority part from her father, a Marxist) posing as a champion of American blacks. talk about “racial expropriation”.
Ellison is a shrewd black Marxist/moslem and vile racist. He’s the shame of Minnesota but that state has always had a radical/Marxist cancer since at least the 1930’s.
Kamala Harris, you are an ignorant airhead.
Do you think that police departments train their officers to be racist and to target blacks to kill them? You are a fool.
Police Departments have been training for decades eradicate racism from the police forces.
These people have lost their minds.
#6. Is that rope made by Jesse Jackson’s black/Marxist con-job organization, the Rainbow Coalition?
I said a prayer for both Biden and Harris but it was in “tongues” and you don’t want to know whose “tongues” they were.
“Vengeance is mine sayest the lord”! Amen! And “My God is a vengeful God”. Hope that’s true because I’m a firm believer in “revenge” against the traitors of America. No statute of limitations. No recognized refuge in foreign countries.
Just pure, unadulterated revenge. I want Biden to go brain-dead and Harris to have a stroke that will leave her a pablum spewing vegetable for the rest of her life. The same for Pelosi, Schumer, Waters and Durbin.
I’m tired of traitors winning. 2022 is our first major counteroffensive in the electoral arena and this time we must be the “LIONS” and they, their “LUNCH”.
Of course; for the progressive, nothing will ever be “enough.” Like cancer, or addiction or dementia, progressive politics has no stop mechanism. It continues until it destroys its host.
Till you are South Africa or Syria
Yes and 100 years from now there will be no more guns because there will be no manufacturing sector to provide the bullets. Internet? Long gone. Infrastructure? Long gone.
After generation X dies out this country will be left with the faggy, gutless, single mom household generation called the millennials. The ‘Women’s rights’ or feminist movement gave them to us. They talked a big game while they had big strong white men to protect them and armies to allow them their platform. The phrase “be careful for what you wish for“ has never been more applicable to such a large group of dumbasses. Pajama boy will be on the $20 bill that is worthless (irony).The black criminal class will become the rulers in a violent and merciless world made up of clans of what we refer to today as “minorities“ that leverage fire and machetes to hunt each other...for food. Most of the animals, wild and domestic, will have been consumed by then like it was in China back in the 60s with maybe an odd small fish or two caught in a toxic creek or stream. There was a little something called the dark ages and we’re gonna be there in no time.
Hard to disagree with your assessment.
I would say what is on my mind but I would be cancelled
Well, Teddy Roosevelt said that the country was built on four boxes, the soapbox, jury box, ballot box and cartridge box. Well, the first three are failing us so what’s left is #4.

Nothing failing about it. They failed.
The verdict was correct. Unfortunately, the overreach will follow.
I suppose the Hyena wants him swinging from a tree.
As calimexifornia’s AG she wasn’t very kind to people of color when it came to incarcerations but these dopes don’t want to here this.
“I would not call today’s verdict justice, however, because justice implies restoration.”
I would not call today’s verdict justice, however, because justice implies reparations.
There. Fixed it.
Yes, I love listening to her and what she so clearly believes, but the GOP has given up or never was in the fight to begin with. We are not going to get the country back without the collective will to fight and that isn't there. All this contribute and take back the Congress through the ballot box rhetoric is just hot air and another way to harvest more money from us rubes, IMO.
The Federalist has, long since, been a propaganda tool of the globalist RINO deep state
............................................
You know, I confess to having a bit of pride about maintaining an awareness of reality, i.e., knowing what’s going on in the real world. So it shames me to have to admit that I was not aware that The Federalist is a propaganda tool of the enemy. Thanks for letting me know that.
Is she black this week? Or still Asian?
