As Heigl continued her public statement, the star shared her hopes for the fate of the police officers in Floyd's arrest, including Derek Chauvin, who was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter after he used his knee to pin Floyd down to the ground by his neck.

"Then I look at my daughters. My sister. My nephews and niece. George Floyd. Ahmaud Arbery. Breonna Taylor. The hundreds, thousands millions more we haven't even heard about," she said. "I look and the fear turns to something else. The sorrow warms and then bursts into flames of rage. Rage."

"I'm not sure what most think justice looks like but right now, to me, it looks like a hard, ugly life in prison for Officer Chauvin and the others who just stood there. On their phone. I want them to pay," she continued. "I want that payment to be harsh. I want it to be a painful, irrevocable consequence for their evil acts and behaviors and for those consequences to scare the s--t out of every other racist still clinging to their small, stupid minded hate. The hate that soothes their weakness and cowardice. The hate that makes them feel powerful and in charge. The hate that distracts them from their meager-ness."
