"For Minneapolis, everybody lost. 1500 businesses were destroyed. Most of them haven’t returned. There was over $350 million in property damage, an economic and graphic wound that will haunt for decades.  Residents moved away, many to northern Minnesota. Downtown is a ghost town. The police force is still severely depleted so murders, robbery, and carjackings are among the highest in the nation. 38th and Chicago continues to be an autonomous zone. Outside Cup Foods the temple of George Floyd stands. The sacred ground is covered with graffiti, iconic fists, flowers, and slogans."

He was then transported to Chadron Hospital for a blood test before being booked into the Dawes County Jail."

"Audio clips from the archives of Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) reveal the harsh words Keith Ellison has had for Minneapolis police officers.  MPR previously included remarks from Ellison in its coverage of policing and crime, mostly from the early 1990s when Ellison was a lawyer and political activist.  In some of those remarks, Ellison is heard calling the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) “vicious” people who are “wolves in sheep’s clothing,” as well as an “occupying force.”"
