The look on Derek's face, or eyes in this case. Say a lot to me. It comes across like he genuinely didn't expect to be jailed for murder. So many police officers have got away with it and he happens to be the one to finally go to jail.

George Floyd's death didn't just spark unrest in the US, but also here in the UK. There's a lot of racism that happens over here but it goes unmentioned and many who commit racism end up getting away with it.

Derek Chauvin's sentence isn't just a sign of change in the US, but one across the world. It demonstrates that if America can show a willingness to change, then so can the rest of the world. This is change across many countries, not just one. And a good one at that.
