Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama say a Minneapolis jury "did the right thing" in convicting former police officer Derek Chauvin of murdering George Floyd.
Though they said that justice was done in this case, the nation's first Black president and his wife said in a statement, "we know that true justice is about much more than a single verdict in a single trial."
They added:
"True justice requires that we come to terms with the fact that Black Americans are treated differently, every day. It requires us to recognize that millions of our friends, family, and fellow citizens live in fear that their next encounter with law enforcement could be their last. And it requires us to do the sometimes thankless, often difficult, but always necessary work of making the America we know more like the America we believe in.
"While today's verdict may have been a necessary step on the road to progress, it was far from a sufficient one. We cannot rest. We will need to follow through with the concrete reforms that will reduce and ultimately eliminate racial bias in our criminal justice system. We will need to redouble efforts to expand economic opportunity for those communities that have been too long marginalized."

Is that a “go” signal for the riots to begin?
Right - we must continue to foment racial hatred against whites.
Of course it’s not enough. It’s never enough.
Shocking, I tell ya.
The Obamas sound disappointed.
Got it! Just cower in fear and be subservient to extremist rioting mobs of the Left, and everything will be fine and just. Just wanted to get that clear. Thanks.
FUBO!
Whitey must still die.
But voters did the wrong thing.
the bamster as usual always has to take it to another level which encourages vigilantism , chaos and unrest.
Can one not be satisfied without making a publicity hound comment and move on?
Who suffers more? White people because of blacks or black people because of Whites?
The bamster is channeling his inner Kenyan. That’s how they roll in east African third world thug dictatorships.
Of course..the Dems win elections based on race hustling otherwise they would never win..notice they never talk about their agenda, only about how white people suck blaa blaa blaa
That is why Whitey is arming up.
They probably wanted the cop executed right in the courtroom.
Nothing will satisfy them until they see us whites in chains. There is no manner of reasonable appeasement.
It’s time to impeach Racist King Obama out of his third stealth term for continuing to foment unrest and racism even though the verdict went their way.
“Who suffers more? White people because of blacks or black people because of Whites?”
Blacks because they love being miserable. They don’t know any better, even with the encouragement of great Black leaders like Ben Carson and Condelisa Rice.
It’s all hate, and a reason to act out.
