Dozens of people gathered on Wednesday to rally outside the Hennepin County Administration Building in downtown Minneapolis, demanding further police reform following the sentencing of former law enforcement officer Derek Shovin. This was told by a TASS correspondent.

As noted, in the center of Minneapolis the next day after the announcement of the verdict, increased security measures continue to operate, shop windows are still covered with wooden billboards. The administrative buildings were left fenced in with metal mesh and barbed wire. At the same time, the situation remains calm.

The number of demonstrators at the peak was about a hundred people.

Recall that a jury in Minneapolis (Minnesota) on Tuesday found ex-police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of the manslaughter of African American George Floyd.
