'A Glimmer Of Justice': Garner's Mother Reacts To The Derek Chauvin Guilty Verdicts | Rachel Maddow
Thank you Gwen for your kindness. Your son’s death was the first murder I ever witnessed. The number of cell phone videos of these types of deaths since then has shown the depths of our country’s racism. May this jury’s finding be the turning point to fully understanding one another by the content of our character.
The culture that KILLS is cops NOT saying, “This is wrong,” and intervening. That’s how Floyd died, and Dante. Not, “one rotten apple,” but the protection they get, in real time, from the poisoned tree! Chop it down, burn it, and plant a new one. Spend generously, out of the tax payer’s purse! They’ll thank you in the end, when generous spending on VETTING and TRAINING works out cheaper than billions in settlements!
Another disgusting criminal that committed another crime. Another disgusting racist family taking advantage for the money! FULL STOP !
@Ash Roskell 👈 RACIST
@N 827 👈😡❄️🐑 . . . 🤣
May human kindness continue to define the best of us.

I remember the first time I saw the Eric Garner video. God I cried so much as if I knew the man. Even when I lost the only brother that I had, didn’t cry as much as I did with Eric Garner. 😥😥😥
Please 🙄
Could it be a step into the right direction? I truly hope so, because Justice Matters. Not only for White People but for ALL People, no matter what race, colour, Religion!!

@Ash Roskell exactly. First the screening and than the education and training.
Thank you Mrs Garner, your bravery in the face of unbearable tragedy is inspiring. May God Bless You.
Her name is Mrs Carr But thank you for sort of paying attention
Oh dear God… This mother is an incredible woman 🙏🏾✌🏾🕊
She absolutely is incredible.
She is so amazingly strong & brave.
💜💜💜👏👏👏
Would anyone who clicked on ‘dislike’ explain how you could dislike a selfless person giving comfort to other mothers please?
Must have been a mistake

Gwen Carr is an amazing woman; selfless and genuine.
If I remember well, when I first saw her she was asked what she is hoping for, and she said something like ‘I hope the officer who killed my son to be fired.’ I was stunned, in what world she lives in. The world in which society suppressed her that much that justice for her son who died in one of the most senseless killing is a hope for the officer who did it to lose his job; which, later I learned, he could easily find in a nearby state/county/department. In my opinion, for the police workforce there has to be a vision, mission and strategy on the federal level.
I cannot imagine what this woman has endured. I literally cannot. I would be a raging mess, not a calm voice of reason, justice, and comfort for others.
🤪 braindead much
*GUILTY*
*Derek Chauvin:* “And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids and their phones.” 😁
🙈🙉🙊
It’s the bad apples that spoil the bunch. But then it comes time to examine the tree that the apples are falling from.

Chauvin got a trial and jury, unlike so many other poor people! 🌷💚🙌 RIP to all killed by police, my dad and brother in law included!💚🌷
Love this person that is helping other mothers endure their grief. I love it when she said that she prayed first. There is a power that regenerates you to do things that you would not ordinarily be able to gather the strength to do.
This woman BELIEVES in something, and she is the best example of serving her belief by acting for the good of others.
Wow….. really strong woman, it is a deep thing she is doing for the country ❤️
Thanks, Rachel! Thanks, Mrs. Carr! 💜
Ma’am, thank you for sharing your gift of strength. You give me hope.
