5. All Eyes On Minnesota As Police Reforms Go Into Effect

Jury selection in the Derek Chauvin case wrapped up Tuesday, March 23.
Of the 15 jurors selected thus far, two are white men, three Black men, one Black woman, six are white women and two are multiracial women, according to the court.
George Floyd's death last May at the hands of Minneapolis police officers has made Minnesota ground zero for the debate over police reform, and specifically policies involving use of deadly force.
In the months since Floyd’s death a number of new state laws and policies have gone into effect and law enforcement experts are watching to see if the changes will be successful at rebuilding trust between police and communities of color, while also providing officers the protection they need to engage with dangerous suspects.
