AP Photo/Julio Cortez “George Floyd Square” is a small quadrangle of city streets in Minneapolis that was renamed following the controversial death of Floyd while in police custody. Since then, a memorial for Floyd has gone up opposite Cup Foods on 38th Street. The city placed barricades on some streets surrounding the memorial to prevent cars from hitting demonstrators. Naturally, this has made it next-to-impossible for local businesses to operate. It got worse when gangs began a turf war. The barricades have morphed from barriers to keep protesters safe to weapons to prevent police from doing their jobs. The barriers are guarded and patrolled by activists who won’t allow the cops access — even when there are calls for help.
