Local state trooper looks to change people s view of law enforcement
Kinston/Jones Free Press (kfp)
Jury selection in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin begins Monday, and law enforcement in Kinston wants to continue changing the perspective people may have of all officers.
On May 25, 2020, a video captured Chauvin pressing his knee on the neck of a Black man, George Floyd, for 9 ½ minutes which eventually resulted in the death of Floyd, who was handcuffed at the time.
According to a USA TODAY article on Friday, March 5, “the question at the heart of the case is whether what people saw on the video was murder or a terrible tragedy.”

The former home of American composer and conductor John Philip Sousa is facing foreclosure.
The Galinn Fund, which provided a mortgage to the current owner of the townhouse at 80 West Washington Place, filed a foreclosure notice Tuesday in New York State Supreme Court.
In June 2019, Galinn issued a $3 million loan to 80 West Washington Place Holdings, the limited liability company listed as the property’s owner. In the filing, the lender alleges that the owner defaulted on a balloon payment of $2.1 million that was due July 1, 2020.
