GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. â We all remember the protests that broke out around the United States in response to the death of George Floyd.
That includes here in Grand Rapids where dozens of buildings were damaged.
The Grand Rapids Police Department says it has spent the last year working to gain the trust of the public.
At the same time, the Grand Rapids Public Museum is collecting the boards that were used to cover broken windows, as a piece of history.
âWhat we had the night of May 30 was not that it started out as a peaceful protest, it quickly evolved into a situation where a lot of lives were put in danger. There was a lot of property destruction,â says Grand Rapids Police Chief Eric Payne.
