Minneapolis beefs up security before trial in Floyd’s death

Friday, 19 February 2021 | AP | Minneapolis

Minneapolis leaders have said they are beefing up security plans, preparing to close streets and making sure businesses and residents are well informed as the trial approaches for the former police officer charged in the death of George Floyd.

Mayor Jacob Frey said safety will be a top priority “during this very difficult time in our city” and that the trial of Derek Chauvin will likely increase trauma for many, especially as a verdict draws near.

“We believe it is on us to honor the magnitude of this moment and ensure that our families in this city feel safe,” Frey said.
