Many people weren't expecting a guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial this week, because there’s almost no precedent of white police officers being convicted for killing Black people in the U.S.

Reporters N'dea Yancey Bragg and Grace Hauck explain where reform efforts have failed and where reform measures have been left unenforced in Minneapolis, Chicago, and across the country.

Activists who celebrated the guilty Chauvin verdict as a measure of accountability say there's not much else to celebrate right now regarding the future of police reform.
