In a long-awaited, historic verdict, jurors have found police officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all three counts of the murder of George Floyd; the unarmed black man killed last March that sparked a racial reckoning in the United States. To understand this profound moment National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan joins Christiane Amanpour to react, highlighting how the verdict shows the world, and the American people, that justice can prevail. Police Chief Art Acevedo discusses what this verdict could mean for police reform going forward. Then co-founder of Black Lives Matter Opal Temeti weighs in, explaining that whilst it’s a just, positive outcome, it’s not transformative.
