Martin Luther King Jr. CNN Digital Expansion 2015 Gene Seymour Here's what you are going to get in a major address from Biden: a torrent of phrases, some of them carefully clipped like a neighbor's hedge, most of them rolling and gushing like a river, all of them aimed not at the gut in the manner of his immediate predecessor, but directly towards the heart, whether to soothe or to rouse, keeping at … [Read more...] about Joe Biden delivered the Chauvin verdict speech America needed

close Video Gutfeld examines conviction of Derek Chauvin, state of US justice 'Gutfeld!' host is joined by Jeanine Pirro, Tyrus Murdoch, Kat Timpf and Chadwick Moore to discuss the much-watched trial So, it turns out the American justice system works. The verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial is a great relief. I say that for cynical, sad, selfish reasons, because I knew that if it went the other way, my city would have been in flames . I know Chauvin is guilty, but I wonder if it's normal for a country to be so worried about unrest no matter what the outcome of a trial is. I know I was, because I've seen this before.

Officials in the U.S. and overseas are voicing wide support for a white police officer’s murder conviction Tuesday in the death last year of a Black man, George Floyd, with President Joe Biden calling it a “much too rare” outcome in contentious confrontations between white police and minority suspects. Both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris praised the decision hours after a racially diverse jury in Minneapolis convicted former police officer Derek Chauvin of two types of murder and manslaughter. Minutes later, he was handcuffed and jailed and now faces years in prison, when he is sentenced in eight weeks. Biden, who phoned Floyd’s family after the verdict, called it “a step forward,” but all too rare moment of justice.
