Minneapolis Reflects Five Years After George Floyd's Murder | JQJO

Five years after George Floyd's murder sparked nationwide protests, Minneapolis grapples with its aftermath. While some improvements in policing have been made under court supervision, violent crime remains a concern, and the future of George Floyd Square, the site of his death, is undecided. The city council favors a pedestrian mall, but the mayor and some business owners oppose it. Efforts to reform the police department continue under a consent decree, though activists argue that change isn't felt on the streets. The city also faces challenges in rebuilding trust and addressing racial disparities.
