The trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd has already impacted conversations nationwide around policing, police reforms, race and social equity.

The jury on Tuesday found Chauvin guilty on all three counts — second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter — in the death of Floyd, which is expected to have a ripple effect across the nation, as well as here in Kansas City.
