For many in Minneapolis, the space outside Cup Foods where Floyd died is sacred ground that should remain closed off or a meaningful site that shouldn't become an eyesore.

which eventually led to civil unrest on a scale that did not occur again until after Floyd’s death nearly three decades later.

A city survey asking residents how to memorialize Floyd did not include an option for keeping the street shuttered. That angered some residents, who denote their resistance to opening the intersection with lawn signs reading, “No Justice, No Streets.” Their demands include police reform and community investment.

“After we get what we want in the trial, they need to take this down,” said Peter, who declined to give his last name and lives a block from 38th and Chicago. “They need to put this away, and everybody needs to move on. … The businesses need to move on.”AdvertisementWhen Jenkins, the council vice president, went to the intersection a day after the killing, what she saw was “a sea of people coming out to mourn, to grieve, to protest. To demand justice.

About 15 miles away, a plywood sculpture of a raised fist was removed from storage at a church near 38th and Chicago and loaded into a U-Haul truck for a trip to the latest site of community trauma.

co z toho zkurvenýho negra děláte furt boha?

I never will understand why everyone decided to make a martyr of this guy. A 46-year-old man out there doing meth and fentanyl, dies while acting the fool and resisting arrest. Of course black lives matter, but sad to say, he did not act like his own life mattered.

Wearing Cotton Gloves and Masks can beat COVID-19 in two weeks. Health Experts don’t know the science on this but I know, physics measures are far better than vaccines. In May 2020, I swore that I'd like to accept the most severe penalties including death if my idea doesn't work.

Let me be clear. If George been hoopin' fent, the cop is innocent.
