Will This Change Police Culture?

Have we considered the "sigh of relief" that will echo through US police departments once Derek Chauvin is declared guilty? Will the conviction of a now former officer excuse police clan morality. Of course, if you haven't ever dealt with the police or witnessed inequities long before we ever had phone cameras, this perspective may seem absurd - until it happens to you, until for some reason, you capture police attention. It could seem as minor as a traffic stop, even if you're white. (See American Police,history; and my previous police posts of 6/6/2020, 6/11/2020, 9/24/ 2020).
