Justice has finally been served in the case of George Floyd.
A jury took just 10 hours to deem former police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of murdering the unarmed Black man during an arrest on May 25 2020.
In a clip seen around the world, Chauvin visibly knelled on Floyd’s neck for more than 9 minutes as onlookers watched in shock – many of whom joined Floyd in articulating that he couldn’t breathe.
With millions worldwide praising the decision, so too are a number of notable celebrities – including Beyonce, Cardi B, and Mariah Carey.
Their words below…
Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied. pic.twitter.com/mihZQHqACV

This verdict is just the first step in a long line of injustice against the Black community, often with no consequences. The work is not nearly done. While there are many more families waiting for justice, my heart is with George Floyd’s family right now. #PoliceReformNOW @NAACP

We still have to fight for justice yall. Remember that “we voted Obama in yay racism is gone!” feeling? Yeah…let’s learn from that. I’m happy for the Floyd family tho. Especially his daughter. But there is still a slew of mountain to climb.

People are acting like justice has been served. We won’t be able to say that until sentencing. He could get 5 years on each count and serve them all concurrently.
I believe he will get maximum sentencing.
And if not, the real G’s in prison that already have LIFE…..BETTER handle the situation appropriately…
That disgusting p** saw a black man(handsome, tall, built) and recognized him from his work and became enraged, jealous hateful. He is a demon who deserves to be returned to hell
It’s you who is a demon and jealous of whites. You’re spewing envy in every word. At least be more subtle if you don’t want it to be so obvious 💯
And as for “good looking,” are you into drug addicts? He was a foul meth-addicted junkie and convicted felon who burgled pregnant women at gunpoint. He was a disgusting excuse of a human being.
“ He was a disgusting excuse of a human being”
LMAO…I suppose like would recognized like. But never mind what your dumb a$$ thinks he is, George Floyd is now a martyr and that is now a convicted felon. 🥰
Cop👮♂️ is a convicted felon** 🥰
….and that thug cop 👮♀️ that shot Duane Wright is NEXT. We’re waiting with bated breath..,🥰🥰
Take Beyonce picture down why use her picture with George. T Then she has on military type coat f*** y’all tryna say. .not meek mills, jayz , arrested celebrities, next to George picture. Like she a soldier
Some of y’all black celebrities needs to take the black fist down
