Floyd’s relatives said they felt relieved by the verdict. “I finally have the opportunity to hopefully get some sleep,” Philonise Floyd, George’s brother, said. Chauvin’s conviction does not automatically signal a new era of police accountability. The Floyd case was the exception of all exceptions.

That footage led to weeks of protests that were among the largest in U.S. history. And at the trial, the so-called blue wall of silence — that is, many officers’ willingness to protect colleagues, regardless of their misbehavior — [crumbled](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRiYoZuP4QBAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjEvMDQvMTYvb3Bpbmlvbi9wb2xpY2UtYnJ1dGFsaXR5LWNoYXV2aW4tbWlubmVzb3RhLWNoaWNhZ28tdmlyZ2luaWEtYmx1ZS13YWxsLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIxMDQyMSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0yOTQ5MyZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NTYwMDAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmB1bgGAYP5rrcVSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). “For so many, it feels like it took all of that for the judicial system to deliver just basic accountability,” President Biden [said late yesterday](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRiYoZuP0TtaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNC8yMC91cy9wcmVzaWRlbnQtYmlkZW4tY29tbWVudHMtZGVyZWstY2hhdXZpbi12ZXJkaWN0Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIxMDQyMSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0yOTQ5MyZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NTYwMDAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmB1bgGAYP5rrcVSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). Most of those factors will not apply to future police killings. Those cases will instead be more likely to resemble the deaths of Michael Brown, Philando Castile, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, Daniel Prude, Tamir Rice, Breonna Taylor and hundreds of other cases [that have not lead to a murder or manslaughter conviction](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRiYoZuP0ToaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMS8wNC8xOS91cy9kZXJlay1jaGF1dmluLXBvbGljZS1raWxsaW5ncy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMTA0MjEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9Mjk0OTMmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTU2MDAwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpgdW4BgGD-a63FUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). Still, the Chauvin trial is not guaranteed to be simply a one-off event, either. Some of the same factors that make it distinct could also cause it to have a wider impact. Before Floyd’s death, it was hard to think of a signature trial of an American police officer, one that received sustained national attention, as the trial of a celebrity might. This trial, of course, did receive such attention. Television networks halted their normal coverage yesterday to broadcast the verdict, and the president of the United States organized his schedule around it. That attention has made it clear that a police officer can be charged with murder and convicted of it. It’s an idea that will linger in the minds of prosecutors and future jurors. Perhaps most important, it may affect the thinking of other officers, when they find themselves considering whether to use physical force when it is not necessary.
