Minnesota’s governor is preparing for potential unrest after the verdict is announced in Derek Chauvin’s trial, with the memory of rioting in the summer of last year following George Floyd’s death still fresh in many minds.

Gov. Tim Walz announced Monday that he declared a state of emergency as jurors in the trial weigh whether to convict or acquit the former Minneapolis police officer in Floyd’s death.
