On Monday closing arguments will be heard in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin which means the verdict could be handed down this week.
In anticipation, much of the city has been boarded up, and under what’s called ‘Operation Safety Net’ 3,000 National Guard and 1,100 public safety officers are in the city.
Even the public schools will close and return to ZOOM learning from Wednesday on.
NAACP president Derrick Johnson said: ‘What we’ve all witnessed throughout the trial thus far confirmed what we saw in the video. Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd.
‘As we turn to closing arguments on Monday, the nation waits on justice.’
The NBA has reportedly told teams to prepare for game postponements in the wake of a potential verdict in the Derek Chauvin murder case this week.
