As the trial for Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged in the 2020 death of 46-year-old George Floyd, nears a verdict, cities across the country are bracing for potential protests depending on the outcome.
Chauvin is facing three charges second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for kneeling on Floyd s neck for more than nine minutes while making an arrest on May 25, 2020. Floyd later died from his injuries and two autopsies ruled his death a homicide.
Cities across New York state have seen organized demonstrations related to Floyd s death and the larger Black Lives Matter movement dozens of times in the months that followed. Places like Rochester, Buffalo and New York City have seen thousands flock to the streets to protest police brutality and race-related violence.
