The Short List
 
Saturday, April 17

Good morning, friends of The Short List. It's John, bringing you the weekend's long reads.

This week saw the conclusion of testimony in the dramatic, three-week trial of Derek Chauvin, the white former Minneapolis police officer charged in the death of George Floyd, a Black man, on May 25, 2020. Closing arguments are set for Monday after Chauvin told the court he would not testify in his own defense.

This week's long reads examine ways in which the trial – and the death of George Floyd – continue to be felt around the nation.

Guilt, regret, helplessness: Watching George Floyd die had a 'profound' impact on witnesses
More cities are sending civilian responders, not police, on mental health calls
What should you do if you see police using excessive force? Film it
