Saturday’s Minneapolis Star Tribune devoted three full pages to the Department of Justice examination in the wake of the George Floyd murder in south Minneapolis on May 25, 2020.
You can read everything about the report, including link to the report, here, the Department of Justice website.
I first wrote about this case on May 27, 2020, here, entitled “Dead Man Talking”, and word search says I’ve mentioned George Floyd in 42 posts since then. I got within a half block of the intersection of 38th and Chicago – the scene of the crime – in the morning of May 27, but didn’t take photos or get out of the car – I wish I had. The first demonstrations were beginning to be organized.
Whatever your opinion, I would suggest you take the time to read the report.
We were in Minneapolis last night at a concert at Orchestra Hall in the middle of downtown. All was very usual, quiet, orderly, a city like we’ve always known it. We’ll be back there tomorrow morning, at Basilica of St. Mary. It will be the same as last night.
Do read and reflect on the report as it relates to yourself, personally, and where you live.
