'I hope they find unbiased people'
Analysis by Tara McKelvey, BBC News, Minneapolis
Barbed wire surrounds the courthouse, and Forest McClarron, 34, an army veteran, walks past, looking up at the building.
He lives on Chicago Avenue, where George Floyd was pinned to the ground.
"I hope they find unbiased people," McClarron says, referring to the jury selection process. "Just honest, unbiased people."
Near him a woman walks with her husband to a vehicle parked on South Third Avenue. He has an assault rifle, and a paper cup sits on the bonnet of the vehicle.
He works in private security, and they are here to keep activists safe "from white supremacists," they say.
The mood is calm and the street smells like cannabis while people wait to see what happens with the jury, and with those who have gathered outside the courthouse.
