Former Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo says he wishes he had moved faster to change the culture of his department before the murder of George Floyd, which happened five years ago Sunday.

On May 25, 2020, a white Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd, who was Black, by kneeling on his neck for nine minutes during an arrest. The officer, Derek Chauvin, was convicted on murder charges.

A man who tends the garden at the intersection where Floyd was murdered hopes something good can grow from painful memories.

As cellphone video documenting the last breaths of George Floyd spread across the internet, so did the collective outrage. For 10 consecutive days after his murder at the hands of Minneapolis police officers on Memorial Day in 2020,

DOJ is abandoning efforts for court-approved settlements with Minneapolis and Louisville after finding they had violated Black people's civil rights.

The upheaval in Golden Valley is just one example of the way Floyd’s murder shook thousands of police agencies nationwide.

Progress toward more fair policing could be undermined by a push from some activists and lawmakers on the political right to get President Donald Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin, as his administration moves to end federal policing oversight.

The noteworthy anniversary comes as newsrooms face a radically different political landscape as the Trump administration targets civil rights.
