I think there's a lot more to discuss other than Derek Chauvin's culpability. HN is full of really bright people; I'd love to hear what they think about tech's role in enabling police brutality like this to exist, and what is in our capacity to do to help solve the problem.

And if I search for "police" I see 5 discussions with 100+ comments in the past week alone! So I think there's a lot of discussion regarding police brutality, just not about Floyd's murder itself. (Well, I guess some people might wish HN had even more discussion on police brutality, but we're veering into meta-meta-discussion.)

In that case you may be glad to see how many major discussions like that HN has hosted in the past few weeks. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23624962 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23624962 Sorry not to have listed the titles, but there are many tech-overlapping threads in there, and many more that I didn't list.
