2 years after the murder of George Floyd, what has changed?

Like many Minnesotans, Zaynab Mohamed remembers exactly where she was when she saw the video of Derek Chauvin murdering George Floyd. 

It was the evening of May 25, 2020, and she was scrolling Facebook when she saw a post with the video shared by local organizer and civil rights lawyer Nekima Levy Armstrong.

"I remember being in bed at like 10 p.m., just kind of going through my phone. And then it came. Nekima had posted this really horrific video. And obviously, I always have known about police shootings … but I remember going to bed and like waking up the next day, and it just felt different."

It was different. The video, captured by Darnella Frazier, who was 17 at the time, sparked the largest protest movement against racism and racial injustice America has seen in a generation and a racial reckoning that reverberated across the world.

Has much changed? Is there momentum for further change or has the new normal become comfortable?

2. I recall a couple days ago

Several posts upset with signing the EO today because it gives more money towards police.

3. I feel a bit disconnected from what the posts here might indicate about what DUers support

...and the dearth of reactions when something actually occurs in response.

I guess I expect too much.
