Former police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all charges earlier this week, but the negative effects of the Minneapolis mayor and Minnesota’s governor continue to be noticed:
Interesting case study this is turning into.

This particular case study is what’s now called George Floyd Square in Minneapolis, and it’s a story about people who are trying to make a living in the area amid the “defund the police” push:

Way to go, Minneapolis mayor, City Council and many others:

What do those Dems care who’s harmed by all this as long as their keeping their narrative going.

Ya see….this is what I, as a pro-Black Black businessman, mean about a lot of this performative "modern civil rights" stuff.
The (70% white) occupation of 'George Floyd Square' is shutting down a heavily Black business district…and cops can't or won't come. Comments? https://t.co/WwpKScI4Nd

In #Minneapolis they not only defunded the police, there also seems to be a rampant citywide irony deficit. https://t.co/5MC3Ye6fnZ

Marxist outfit Black Lives Matter and Antifa/Democrat allies have ensured that police won’t be able to assist. https://t.co/ZrWcSBHR6o

Average people want the police on the job, but progressive politicians are turning their cities over to mob rule.
Wow, who could have expected this would happen? https://t.co/V0kaSYZViU

These autonomous zones sure seem to work out well.
Sort of like communism/socialism. Each one a glorious failure all its own that will have its defenders making excuses for it 'It's not REAL autonomous zones!'

So, what’s all the money BLM has raised being used for?
BLM got $1,000,000,000. Why do these people have to beg? Help these people BLM! If they won't help, what the fk is all that money for?

Maybe some of that money went toward homes for some who head up the group.
