Today's Highlighted Video Story:
A downpayment on justice.
That's what George Floyd's family and supporters are calling the 22-and-a-half year sentence of former police officer, Derek Chauvin. Floyd's murder last year shook the United States - prompting calls against racism and for police reform, and protests worldwide.

But can that really be achieved?
