Description

In the week leading up the the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder on May 25, Minnesota Now examined DEI efforts, activism and the state of Lake Street, which saw a number of buildings burn during riots. This segment covers the state of policing four years after a Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, kneeled on Floyd’s neck on a city street captured on video. His murder set off peaceful demonstrations and violent confrontations locally and across the country. Protestors called for changes to policing. That change has been slow, as expected. We are still seeing reform efforts develop and play out today. MPR News senior reporter Jon Collins joined Minnesota Now to talk about what has changed in policing since Floyd’s killing shook the world.
