Rioting was unfortunately ‘contingent on the verdict’ of Chauvin trial

Former White House staffer Barbara Heineback says rioting in the United States was unfortunately “contingent upon the verdict” of Derek Chauvin’s trial.

Derek Chauvin was found guilty of all three charges against him over the death of black man George Floyd last year; the former police officer is set to be sentenced in eight weeks.

“We saw a man be killed … and so the verdict was the correct one, but it’s a bittersweet day for America,” Ms Heineback told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

“There’s just been so many facets to this, and I’m sorry – as we look back – that it’s been politicised.”
