Columnist says policing needs to be reformed

Fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin's conviction marks an inflection point after nearly a year of racial justice protests that began with George Floyd's death. Minutes before the verdict was read, police in Columbus, Ohio, fatally shot a 16-year-old Black girl, a stark reminder of how much work is left to be done. Jamelle Bouie, a CBS News political analyst and New York Times Opinion columnist, joined CBSN to discuss how the country can move forward.

Former police chief on Chauvin verdict

Former police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty Tuesday in the murder of George Floyd, in a case some see as key to the future of policing. Ivonne Roman, policing relationship manager for the Center for Policing Equity and former police chief in Newark, New Jersey, spoke with Anne-Marie Green and Vladimir Duthiers on CBSN about how police officers should handle minor crimes and the original press release from Minneapolis Police that didn't mention that an officer violently restrained Floyd.

Today, she is a city councilwoman brought to tears by the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the murder of George Floyd. "CBS This Morning" national correspondent Jericka Duncan was with Griffin when she heard the news.
