Bishop Richard Howell Jr. thundered from his North Minneapolis pulpit Sunday that the city "is under great stress right now" as the George Floyd murder trial tests how much, if anything, will change in the U.S. almost 10 months after the killing sparked global outrage.
Jury selection for the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, whose knee pressing on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes was captured on graphic video last May, is expected to get underway this week.

MINNEAPOLIS — “We got your back, we got your back.”
One by one, loved ones of those killed at the hands of police, stand up in solidarity. "Our stories will be the thunder and lighting and winds of justice," says Paul Johnson, a friend of Travis Jordan, killed by Minneapolis police back in 2018. "Not only with our families here, but with George Floyd’s family to seek justice for all of us," said Tiffany Roberson, the sister of Jamar Clark.

They came as siblings, parents, spouses and friends. Families of more than a dozen Minnesotans who died while dealing with police gathered Friday before the trial of Derek Chauvin to demand a murder conviction in the death of George Floyd.
If guilty, Chauvin would be the first former police officer to be convicted of murdering a Black man in Minnesota. The state's only ex-cop now in prison for murdering a civilian is Mohamed Noor, who in 2019 was sentenced to 12 years in prison for fatally shooting Justine Damond after she called 911 to report a possible rape.
