Remembering George Floyd: How Minneapolis has changed three years after the murder of George Perry Floyd Jr.

Three years ago today (05/25/2020) the Gentle Giant George Floyd was senselessly taken from this life.
George Perry Floyd Jr. was an African-American man who was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Three years later, Minneapolis had changed. One can only pray that this senseless murder was not in vain.


The murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer three years ago led to what’s often referred to as a national reckoning on race and policing.

Despite initial optimism as protests bloomed across the country and people from across the political spectrum acknowledged the need for change, progress has often felt fitful, even in the city of Minneapolis itself. But there are some indications that, for better or worse, Minneapolis has been transformed by Floyd’s killing.

  • Rethinking what cops do
  • Reducing unnecessary law enforcement interactions
  • Creating more officer accountability
  • Reorganizing public safety and the city
  • More political will to prosecute the police


It's been a resounding success

 
You killed 25 people, hurt 2,000 cops, and destroyed $2 billion worth of mostly minority-owned property in revenge. Wasn't that enough?
We`ve been having race riots for 300 years but only one riot was an attempt to overthrow our Democracy. I haven`t heard about 2,000 cops being hurt but we do know that Trump`s goons beat up 130 of them.
 
Yeah, right. USAToday, which is run by friends of Clinton, would never lie about George Floyd's death.
