The jury reaching a verdict on former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for killing George Floyd signals the conclusion of a historic police brutality trial and a key moment for policing and for the battle for racial equality in America.
Observers have talked about this case being so significant that it will stand as a watershed between the way law enforcement was held to account in the US before George Floyd was pinned by the neck under Chauvin's knee, and after.
From the time bystander video of that drawn-out death as Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, begged for his life while Chauvin, who is white, looked defiantly into the camera, two major things shifted.

First, the Black Lives Matter movement - already battling for an end to disproportionate police killings of Black people, and for justice and equity - drove a massive new civil rights uprising that spread from Minneapolis, across the US and internationally.
It inspired marches and largely-peaceful protests coast to coast, from small towns in rural areas to America's biggest cities.
Second, vital chunks of the traditional so-called blue wall of silence, where police departments harbor one of their own after wrongdoing and fend off demands for accountability, crumbled.
After Medaria Arradondo, the Minneapolis police chief, saw the viral bystander video of Floyd's death, things moved quickly.
He publicly called Floyd's killing a murder. He fired and had arrested Derek Chauvin and the three other police officers who were involved in violently arresting Floyd on suspicion of the misdemeanor of using a fake $20 bill in a Minneapolis corner store.
And then he was one of the star witnesses for the prosecution at Chauvin's murder trial, among a string of serving Minneapolis police officers who testified against their former colleague.
Arradondo, the first Black police chief in the history of Minneapolis, had previously sued the department for discrimination when he was struggling to rise through the ranks.
He told the jury he "vehemently disagreed" with Chauvin's actions, the officer had in "no way, shape or form" followed regulations or training policies and had shown a disregard for police principle to respect "the sanctity of life".
