Statement from Mayor Ray O'Connell

“Justice has prevailed in the case of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin charged with the murder of George Floyd.  It was imperative that Derek Chauvin be held accountable.  The jury watched and heard the evidence and reached a just verdict.”

“As Congress turns its attention to the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, let us hope and pray that our lawmakers can reach consensus on issues regarding police practices and law enforcement accountability. We can’t change the past, but we can make a better future for all Americans.”
