Tuesday’s conviction on all counts of the charges against Minneapolis ex-police officer Derek Chauvin affirms that—despite countless examples of unfair treatment and violence toward the Black community from law enforcement—this time at least a murderer is being held accountable. But there is far more to do in addressing the systemic racism in policing that has left countless Black families and communities mourning the loss of a loved one who died at the hands of police officers.
