US cities beef up security ahead of Chauvin verdict

Minneapolis and other cities around the U.S., are ramping up security in preparation for the end of former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin's murder trial, according to a report from CNN.

The highly-publicized trial is coming to an end in the wake of the police killing of Daunte Wright, a young Black man who was killed in Brooklyn Center, Minn., on Sunday, just miles away from where George Floyd died.

Chauvin has been charged in the death of Floyd after kneeling on his neck for several minutes in May of 2020. During that time, Floyd became unresponsive and was pronounced dead at a local hospital later that day.

Closing arguments in Chauvin's murder trial are slated to take place Monday.

Murder 2 may be too hot, Manslaughter too cold, Murder 3 just right.

We should see at least one conviction. Probably Murder 2 which can put him away for 25y.
