Chauvin Trial Opening Statements Protest and March, Minneapolis
Taken March 2021
Protesters gathered in downtown Minneapolis on March 29, 2021, the day opening statements began in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged in the killing of George Floyd. Floyd died on May 25, 2020, after Chauvin knelt on his neck during an arrest, an incident that sparked demonstrations across the country. The trial was held at the Hennepin County Government Center, just blocks from where marchers carried signs and flags through the city's downtown streets. Chauvin was later convicted on charges of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.
