Minneapolis. La municipalidad de Minneapolis se comprometió a desmantelar su Departamento de la Policía y reconstruirlo, después de que la muerte de George Floyd desatara protestas en todo el país contra el racismo policial e impulsara el tema en la agenda política de Estados Unidos.

Floyd, un ciudadano afroamericano, murió hace dos semanas cuando un policía blanco de Minneapolis, Derek Chauvin, presionó su rodilla contra el cuello de este hombre por cerca de nueve minutos. El oficial fue acusado de asesinato en segundo grado y comparecerá este lunes ante la corte.
