Last week in Minnesota, a jury found former police officer Derek Caauvin guilty on all charges. Chauvin is the officer responsible for the death of George Floyd by placing his knee on the back of Floyd's neck and back for over nine minutes.

In the hours after the verdict, I got into an argument on Facebook with a few people who feltChauvin didn't get a fair trial. After a few minutes, I realized that there are people who felt Floyd deserved to die. They wouldn't have been satisfied if he was just arrested. He had to be punished for doing something wrong, and if he resisted arrest he deserved to die.
When did police officers become executioners?
