A man walks past layers of barbed wire fence and razor wire in front of the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis on March 3, 2021, where jury selection begins for the trial of former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin on March 8.MINNEAPOLIS — There’s the fenced-off government buildings downtown.
Jury selection starts Monday in the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, who is charged with murder in Floyd's death last May. “People are processing trauma in different ways,” said John Elder, public information officer for the Minneapolis Police Department. “We’re seeing people realize that kindness is important."
Authorities say they’re preparing for whatever ruling is rendered, including instituting Operation Safety Net, a task force assigned with coordinating safety and security measures during the trial. Worried about potential structural damage, Minneapolis business owners appear split on remaining open or shutting down.
Many living across the bridge in St. Paul haven’t been able to escape the trial's magnitude and what’s to come for the Twin Cities area. Because of the city-wide tension, he fears for his 14-year-old son, who often takes the five-minute train from their house to the YMCA.Deon Hampton / NBC News“This trial is more than just about Derek Chauvin. It is about policing and public safety and how fundamentally flawed it is in the United States,” Minneapolis City Councilman Phillipe Cunningham said.“We know that this trial is going to reignite the same kind of emotional and social response that we saw last summer,” the councilman said.

Unrest over a felon killed by a cop while they are silent over 100s killed in inner cities each year by thugs and gangs and millions dead in Africa in the past 25 yrs from internal fighting, bad government, disease, starvation, poverty, Islamic terrorism.
Too bad they didn’t prepare this good when they had a bunch of white people at the Capital on January 6th. They’re NOT even allowing more than ☝🏾FAMILY member at a time in the court room. I wonder 🤔 if they’ve ever told that to a white family.
And the response to possible unrest will be about a 1000% more severe than what the world saw on January 6 (history's most predictable riot). Probably have f*cking f-16s and tanks.
Unrest? Just say riot.
They were peaceful this Summer, maybe they will be again.

Nah, Dems won power so they aren’t paying the rioters anymore
I have a family member who is a serial killer. However the FBI refuses to investigate because my family member is sanctioned by a Salinas Ca Police Officer. Follow my story.
Watch out for the right wing's umbrella man smashing windows again.
the mayhem happens after acquittal i'd wager.
Now it's unrest, before it was a peaceful protest make up your fucking mind! Losers
Let’s give the courts an opportunity to do their job before stirring up unrest.
Just convict them. Then there would be no unrest.
He's innocent. I've gotten the knee to the neck. Still here. I'm not a crybaby
Black people are going to get some free shoes
Alright everyone. Grab your popcorn and watch Antifa perform their magic!
Hold him accountable. blm
They should prepare him with him for jail
'Strange Fruit’ by Billie Holiday best illustrates the demon of American inequity & supremacy. That belladonna still has its roots deep in American society. Police killings, January 6th & CPAC proves that again & again. Be informed. NoOneUnscripted
thanks
