Businesses where George Floyd was killed sue Minneapolis, saying police are not protecting the area

Several stores where George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police in 2020 are suing the city for about $1.5 million. The lawsuit by Cup Foods and several other businesses accuses the city of not policing the area and blocking customers from the businesses. City officials have said they offered a range of support for the businesses, including $1.5 million in forgivable loans. Floyd, who was Black, died on May 25, 2020, after former officer Derek Chauvin, who is white, pressed a knee on his neck for nearly 10 minutes. Chauvin is now serving decades in prison for Floyd's death.
