On the evening of April 20, local time, US President Biden and Vice President Harris gave speeches on the conviction of former Minneapolis policeman Chauvan in the Freud case.
Biden said, "This is a murder in broad daylight... Systemic racism is a stain on the soul of our country." He said that the guilty verdict is a "big step forward" for the United States. But the United States still needs to reflect on systemic racism in all walks of life, including police work.
In his speech, Biden specifically mentioned that during the trial, the police were willing to stand up and testify for the prosecutors in the case. He also attributed the credit to the activists who participated in the protests and the young witnesses who bravely filmed the video of the kneeling killing.
Before he spoke, Vice President Harris gave a speech.
She said, “The United States has a long history of systemic racism.” She also said, “Because of smartphones, many Americans are now seeing racial injustices that black Americans have known for generations.” Harris said: “ This is the truth of racial injustice: this is not only a problem of black people, but also a problem of people of color." "This is a problem for every American." "We are all part of George Freud's legacy. , What we have to do now is to cash it out." (produced by Sui Zhiyuan)
