At George Floyd Square, verdict relieves tensions of a long year

At George Floyd Square, verdict relieves tensions of a long year The site of George Floyd s death is transformed as crowd hears the news.  April 20, 2021 8:59pm Text size Copy shortlink: A handful of business owners crowded before a restaurant television Tuesday, bracing for the verdict. George Floyd died just a few yards away under the knee of police officer Derek Chauvin last year, turning their neighborhood into an international beacon for racial justice and police reform. They anxiously waited to see whether Chauvin would face consequences. This is crazy, said Sam Willis Jr., who wore a nervous grin and paced the length of his Just Turkey restaurant. I hope it goes well. I think he s got to get one [conviction on the charges]. He s got to go down for one. I don t see him getting acquitted.

Derek Chauvin verdict relieves year-long tensions at George Floyd Square

George Floyd died just a few yards away under the knee of police Officer Derek Chauvin last year, turning their neighborhood into an international beacon for racial justice and police reform.

Business owners by barricaded Floyd Square plead for safety

Copy shortlink: Two women had to hit the sidewalk as gunshots popped off during the day outside Finish Touch Boutique, a store near the south barricade of George Floyd Square, shop owner Willie Frazier said. Frazier s car was stolen from the square recently, too, he said, and it later turned up at the impound lot with the hood smashed. Now Frazier is sending a distress call along with other Black business owners whose shops and restaurants have been cut off from the outside world by concrete barricades guarded by civilian gatekeepers surrounding 38th Street and Chicago Avenue. As violence disrupts the once-peaceful memorial where Floyd died during an encounter with Minneapolis police, the business owners said they felt abandoned by a city that has failed to protect their safety and livelihoods.
