police brutality, a disease america has never cured. even as the jury was considering its verdict, protesters congregated outside the court. not since the trial of oj simpson has a verdict been the focus of such concentration and concern. and it even brought about an extraordinary presidential intervention, joe biden describing how he'd telephoned the floyd family last night. they're a good family, and they're calling for peace and tranquility no matter what that verdict is. i'm praying the verdict is the right verdict, which is... i think it's overwhelming in my view. minneapolis looks like a garrison town. the boots of 3,000 members of the national guard are on the streets. cities across america are boarding up, in the knowledge this verdict will reverberate throughout the land. the spot where george floyd was killed felt early on this morning like the eye of a brewing storm. for activists, this whole area has become a landmark of inequality, a haunting reminder of america's racial breach. will this guilty verdict calm the angry mood?
