Floyd died on May 25, 2020 after the police officer held his knee against Floyd’sneck or upper body for nearly nine minutes. This police officer was accused of third-degree murder andsecond-degree manslaughter. This trial is probably one of the most closely watched trials in recent decades,because it involves a law enforcement officer; and Floyd’s death under the knee of this officer hasreverberated around the world. Although, the jury members have announced that this police officer isguilty in all charges, this unfortunate incident and Floyd’s last words—I cannot breathe—have been deeplyingrained in the minds of American and have incited numerous marches, and protests across the country.Responding to the result of this trial, former US president, Barack Obama, asked this thought-provoking question: “Would justice be done” after we learned about the verdict of this trail? While thisverdict may have somewhat uplifted the minds of Floyd’s family and is a necessary step on the road tojustice, it is far from a sufficient one. According to Obama, true justice is “about much more than a singleverdict in a single trial.” Obama argues that we cannot override what has happened, but it’s important forall citizens to recognize that millions of people of color live in fear that their next encounter with a policeofficer could be their last member trace. Obama maintained that all of us—in particular the people ineducation—have to start doing something that helps unite people of different colors and of different ethnicbackgrounds. Additionally, Obama also posited that people in law and law enforcement have to followthrough the concrete reforms that may incrementally eliminate racial bias in the criminal justice systemand to ensure that full measure of justice that Floyd and so many others have been denied. Last but notleast, policy makers have to start enacting laws that can expand the economic opportunities for thoseminority groups that have been too long marginalized. The above works may look trivial, thankless anddifficult, but they are necessary to make the America the country US people believe in again.
