Many who celebrated three guilty verdicts for the white ex-police officer who held a knee on George Floyd’s neck called it a step toward justice. President Biden, on Tuesday evening: "Let’s also be clear that such a verdict is also much too rare.

What does the murder verdict in Minneapolis mean in Maryland, and what should happened next? We speak with Erica Hamlett, whose son sued an officer who pointed a gun at him, unprovoked, and to Senator Jill Carter, who just won a long fight for tougher rules on how police in Maryland use force.
