On May 25, 2020, the world watched the public execution of a Black man by a police officer, an agent of the US government, a familiar scene and practice during slavery where “lynching was used instead of knee on the neck”. The cringed, gut-wrenching and agonizing image of a human’s life being sniffed away by Derek Chauvin, a former police officer, whose stare into the camera (as if to say, yes I am killing a black man, there is nothing you can do about it) and the intermittent look down to make certain the victim expired is evidence enough to convict such a criminal to spend the rest of his days in jail. That’s what most human beings would expect; that should be the right, perhaps the only, course of action in a civilized and just society, but we all know that’s not what’s going to happen. At least, I personally am certain that’s not how the story will end.
