GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The city set up concrete barricades downtown, including around Grand Rapids police headquarters, as jurors deliberate charges against ex-Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd.
Floyd’s death preceded a peaceful protest in Grand Rapids that turned into a riot with over $2 million in damages reported downtown. The death touched off violent protests around the country.
Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, died May 25 after Chauvin kneeled on his neck for over nine minutes while he was handcuffed.
