A century of failed liberal attempts at policing reform in Minneapolis supports the view that none of the city council’s current proposals will prevent there from being another George Floyd.
The trial of Derek Chauvin has concluded with a guilty verdict. But the police killing of Daunte Wright in a Minneapolis suburb only weeks ago drives home that one guilty verdict doesn’t go nearly far enough. Building on the weeks-long protests that galvanized Minneapolis and the country in the summer of 2020, the demand to transform U.S. policing, not just convict so-called “bad apples,” continues to gather momentum.

Clark had known Floyd, and had looked up to him as a mentorââmy big homie,â he called him. They had often talked to each other at El Nuevo Rodeo, a club where Floyd had worked as a security guard. Clark told me that Floyd had urged him to be more involved in the neighborhood, and to more consciously exercise a positive influence on its youth: âHe used to tell me to use my voiceâthatâs what he always said. Having tattoos on my face, people get the wrong impression. Thatâs what I loved about George. He told me, âAs soon as you start talkingâthatâs when theyâre gonna see you.â People donât know George. I needed those talks he gave me.â
