A Whole Foods Market in Minneapolis is boarded up with plywood in anticipation of potential unrest following the verdict in the Derek Chauvin murder trial. The trial, which began in March 2021, concerned the death of George Floyd, a Black man whose killing by Chauvin, a white police officer, sparked widespread protests in Minneapolis and across the nation. Businesses across the city took precautionary measures to protect property during this period of heightened tension.
