After 10 hours of deliberation, a jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all counts in the murder of George Floyd , a verdict Floyds family met with relief and calls for justice for Black Americans.

The world has seen his life be extinguished, and I could do nothing but watch, Philonise Floyd, one of Georges brothers, said during a news conference on Tuesday. Especially in that courtroom, over and over and over again, as my brother was murdered.

We have to protest because it seems like this is a never-ending cycle, he added. Im not just fighting for George anymore, Im fighting for everybody around this world. Today we are able to breathe again.
