Derek Chauvin, the police officer who murdered George Floyd, was arrested.
This is not enough. We have much further to go — including swift, independent prosecution conducted by the Attorney General's office.
The fight to dismantle a violent, oppressive system has just begun. https://t.co/46o1tx0Cqo

prevnextThings are not going to die down because they arrested Derek Chauvin. The American people need to see that the police can police themselves without public pressure to do so.

Don't think for a minute that Derek Chauvin would have been arrested if people in Minneapolis weren't standing up and fighting. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

prevnextThis is long overdue. Derek Chauvin was filmed on camera lynching a man who was crying out for help. He needs to be tried and CONVICTED for killing #GeorgeFloyd

BREAKING: Officer Derek Chauvin was just taken into state custody for the murder of George Floyd.
Thank you to everybody who helped make this happen.
THIS IS NOT ENOUGH.
Officers Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng are still free.
Don’t let up.

prevnextIt took 4 officers to murder George Floyd. Derek Chauvin did not act alone.
Officers Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng were not unwilling participants in a quick death, but fully participating co-conspirators in a slow, brutal public lynching.
ARREST THEM NOW.

Derek Chauvin is arrested and is now in the police custody but getting arrested does not equal to being convicted. We want him, Tou Thao, Thomas Lane, and J. Alexander Kueng to be charged with murder. #BlackLivesMater

prevThe Good News: Derek Chauvin arrested for #GeorgeFloydMurder
The Bad News: There's still a 50-50 chance our POTUS decides Chauvin got a raw deal & brings him onstage at campaign events.
