Larson Statement on Chauvin Conviction

Statement

Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement after Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all counts in the murder of George Floyd:

"The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act now must become law. The verdict returned by the jury was unanimous, as is the concern of the American people that Breonna Taylor, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, and many other Black Americans who have been wrongly murdered deserve justice. Only nine days ago, Duante Wright, was also wrongfully killed. Today's unanimous decision provides hope, but Congress needs to take action. We need to enact the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act."
