Sir Lewis Hamilton says the conviction of a former police officer for the killing of George Floyd “marks a new dawn in the fight for racial justice”. “This is the first time that a white officer has been convicted for killing a black man in Minnesota,” Hamilton posted on Instagram. “Convicting him of all three charges marks a new dawn in the fight for racial justice. A day after former Minneapolis officer Chauvin was found guilty, it has been announced a federal investigation into police practices in the city will take place. “If there was any win, you can’t celebrate this, to me it was a win for accountability.
