Most knew that even before the Guilty Verdict against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was in, that it wouldn’t be enough—not nearly enough—for the anti-cop Democrats aiding and abetting BLM and Antifa mobs.
Most also already knew that it would likely be Democrat New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) who would be first to pull the “Systemic Institutional Racism Continues” card.“It’s not justice,” said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Tuesday in response to the guilty verdicts rendered against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for second- and third-degree murder along with second-degree manslaughter in the death of George Floyd. "In an Instagram video, Ocasio-Cortez began her remarks by filming herself remove a mask from her face. She said:It’s not justice. I’ll explain to you why it’s not justice. It’s not justice because justice is George Floyd going home tonight to be with his family. Justice is Adam Toledo getting tucked in by his mom tonight. Justice is when you’re pulled over, there not being a gun that’s part of that interaction because you have a headlight out. Justice is your school system not having or being part of a school-to-prison pipeline. Justice is a municipality and a government that does not — because it trickles down right? — that does not value military and armaments more than it does healthcare, and education, and housing. "So, no, this verdict is not justice. Frankly, I don’t even think we call it full accountability, because there are multiple officers that were there. It wasn’t just Derek Chauvin. And I also don’t want this moment to be framed as this system working, because it’s not working.
“This is not about cameras, and retraining, and chokeholds. This is about changing how we structure our society and the valuing of black life,” Ocasio-Cortez added. “I don’t feel resolved today.” "The New York representative framed America as a society pathologized by “systemic racism.” She stated:We can take it at face value that Ocasio-Cortez does not “feel resolved today”. She and her ilk will NEVER feel resolved as long as "there are multiple officers that were there". It wasn’t just Derek Chauvin”. In politicized spite and unhinged hatred, AOC is right up there with Activist-in-Office Maxine Waters. Incredibly, cop-hating Waters asked for a police escort to Minneapolis, in effect proving that Cops’ Lives Don’t Matter and only HER life is worthy of protection:It’s just a shadow, a shred of the fact that millions of people had to march for George Floyd to be treated as equal and human in an unjust system. That’s not justice, and so we need policy change. We need systemic change.

"Townhall obtained and published the document on Monday appearing to show the request with Waters’ name listed as the primary protectee and “Police escort In & Out” listed underneath special requests. “Waters flew from Dulles International Airport to Minnesota-St. Paul International Airport on Saturday, April 17, just days ahead of a verdict in the George Floyd, Officer Derek Chauvin trial,” the report said. "Video footage showed Waters surrounded by protesters and reporters outside the police station in Brooklyn Center where she told citizens to hit the streets unless Chauvin was convicted for murder."Meanwhile, while former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been duly found guilty by a court of law, he has, In effect, been given a death sentence because how long will he last In any American prison?
