INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Saturday will mark one year since the protests that followed the death of George Floyd and the riots in downtown Indianapolis. To this day, there are untold stories, including what it was like from the police perspective.
“Many officers have shared that on those two nights, they did not believe they were going to go home,” said Rick Snyder, the president of the Indianapolis Fraternal Order of Police (FOP).
The FOP and Snyder represent Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) officers and their stories from those nights.
People took to the streets, carrying Black Lives Matter signs. The unrest spread into two nights of riots. It is hard to forget the images of shattered business windows and dumpsters on fire. The impact on the community will be ever lasting.
