Although the conviction of Derek Chauvin shows a glimmer of hope that justice for black men killed by cops is possible in America, there is still much work that needs to be done to address criminal cops' abuse of power with no consequences. Every day we are faced with the harsh reality that the likelihood of a black person dying at the hands of a police officer flows far more likely than any other race in America. Many continue to deny these concerns and usually respond with “Well… if they only had done did what they were told to do, they would not have been shot or killed.” Really??? Where here is an example of how much difference there is between how cops commonly respond to non-black suspects:
