- Jacob Frey criticized for remembering George Floyd on Memorial Day, six years after death sparked riots
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey faced criticism for a social media post commemorating George Floyd six years after his death, which sparked nationwide protests and calls to defund police. Critics argued the post overshadowed Memorial Day, which honors fallen U.S. service members, while others highlighted the economic and social damage from riots following Floyd's murder. Frey also acknowledged veterans in a separate post.
