This is Minneapolis 5 years after George Floyd's murder
- Five years after George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis in May 2020, the city struggles with policing and community recovery.
- Floyd's death sparked widespread protests and demands to "Defund the Police," a movement that gained early support from many city council members but ultimately did not materialize as proposed.
- Minneapolis Police Department staff fell from nearly 900 officers in early 2020 to under 600 amid retirements, disability claims, and resignations, though staffing began recovering last year.
- The department operates under a consent decree aimed at ending racial bias and ensuring reasonable use of force, and recently received high marks from a nonprofit monitoring compliance.
- City leaders and activists acknowledge progress but note ongoing challenges including crime, economic support needs, and debate over George Floyd Square's future.
