Over 3,000 National Guard soldiers, police officers, members of the state police, sheriff’s deputies, and other members of law enforcement have been deployed to the streets of Minneapolis as the city awaits a verdict in Derek Chauvin’s trial. The former police officer is charged with murdering George Floyd last year.

Portions of downtown are circumscribed by concrete barriers, or ringed by chain-link fences. Convoys of military vehicles can be seen passing on nearby highways. Small businesses are boarded up.
