Will the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict change policing in America?

George Floyd's death at the hands of a white police officer touched off a new civil rights uprising that rippled across the world

The jury's guilty verdict on the former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for killing George Floyd signaled the conclusion of a historic police brutality trial and a key moment for policing and for the battle for racial equality in America.

Observers have talked about this case being so significant that it will stand as a watershed between the way law enforcement was held to account in the US before George Floyd was pinned by the neck under Chauvin's knee, and after.
