Vile response to the verdict: Devine

We have to trust that the jury in the Derek Chauvin case got it right when it found the former Minneapolis cop guilty of murder and manslaughter over the death of a black man, George Floyd.

This is our justice system and it’s all that stands between us and barbarism. If it were plagued by systemic racism, as claimed by the president, then Chauvin could not have been found guilty. America, whose founding document declares “all men are created equal,” which uniquely fought a civil war to end slavery, and which passed the Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, is a great failure as a white-supremacist nation, when you think about it.
