Tensions have increased in the U.S. over the past week amid new reports of fatal police shootings and in anticipation of the verdict in former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin’s murder trial.
Ongoing protests broke out across the country this week over police shootings of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, and Adam Toledo, a 13-year-old boy.
In addition, cities are preparing for unrest as the nation waits for the verdict of Chauvin, who faces multiple charges in the killing of George Floyd, a Black man who died in police custody in May of last year.
The city of Minneapolis as well as several major U.S. cities have called for an increased police presence, and the deployment of National Guard troops.
