The nation is caught between progress and blowback in policing and race four years after the 2020 Memorial Day murder of George Floyd
Four years after George Floyd was arrested and murdered by Minneapolis police, the nation is in the midst of a backlash movement that is trying to rewrite the narrative, the legacy and even the facts of the killing. Call it the anti-reckoning. And it's a disturbing sign of how hard-fought progress on policing and racial justice reforms are under attack by powerful and entrenched interests. Floyd, a Black man, was taken into custody at around 8 p.m.
The county’s Care First plan to realign response to lower-level crimes from jail to healthcare, treatment and other social services agencies is moving at a snail’s pace. Police unions, traditional prosecutors and conservative politicians have taken advantage of the slow movement of reform and fears of crime, real and imagined, to push back not only on post-Floyd reforms but those adopted over the previous decade.
