Police in Minnesota have said some agencies will not respond to potential unrest during the trial of Derek Chauvin because of concerns over the continued demonization of law enforcement officers by certain public officials at various levels of government.
The incident was caught on camera and sparked protests against police brutality and Black Lives Matter demonstrations around the world. The phrase Defund the police became a progressive rallying cry and put law enforcement at the forefront of the political agenda in the months after Floyd s death.
