We knew that New York City already had a statue of Floyd erected, and that another one was placed in front of City Hall in Newark. Google tells us there&#8217;s a third in Houston, Texas. It&#8217;s about time Minneapolis got a proper statue in place. Maybe they should pile up a bunch of tires and set them on fire so the governor&#8217;s wife can open the kitchen window and feel as though she&#8217;s a part of it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We guess, legally speaking, that they can call what happened the murder of Floyd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>From a place of protest and mourning to a living memorial with global significance, plans for George Floyd Square are moving forward.
