Today, Rep. Lois Frankel (FL-21) issued the following statement after Derek Chauvin, the police officer who killed George Floyd, was found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.

“The verdict finding Derek Chauvin guilty of murder brought tears of joy and hope to millions of Americans who witnessed with their own eyes the homicide of George Floyd,” said Rep. Frankel. “Now is the time for the U.S. Senate to follow the lead of the U.S. House and pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which would ban chokeholds, stop no-knock warrants, and hold police accountable.”
