Wednesday afternoon, law enforcement leaders from local and federal departments came together to announce a new plan to reopen George Floyd Square in Minneapolis and hold those who are committing violence accountable.
Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo recognized it's an important area for many people but acknowledged that violence there has gotten out of hand, calling it "staggering and unacceptable."
Arradondo, along with the U.S. Attorney's Office, Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, FBI Minneapolis Field Office and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the focus will now shift to restoring order in the area.
"I'm putting them on notice, enough is enough. Our community will not tolerate this anymore," Arradondo said when asked about those contributing to the violence.
However, Arradondo didn't say when the intersection would actually reopen, only saying, "It's not a matter of if, it's when it happens and it'll be forthcoming," and adding that there's a lot of communication and intelligence-gathering going on.
Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota W. Anders Folk pledged to use every tool and federal statute to hold people accountable.
Robberies and assaults in the area jumped over 300% last year from 2019, with gunshots and victims also dramatically increasing.

“George Floyd Square”? Does such a place exist?
George Floyd Square! Will they be selling Fentanyl there?
Probably. They tear down all major and important historical figures to name shit after a dead beat loser criminal drug addict and BLM , a marxist anti American anti traditional family group.
Yep.
At the corner of Fentanyl Street and Drug Cocktail Lane?
It is like the “CHAZ” autonamous zone in Seattle. Homemade barricades, etc.
I was listening to the MN Police youtube scanner where the cops were chasing a pickup and shots were fired at them. They kept chasing and as the pickup got close to the autonamous zone the dispatcher called off the chase.
“Too late - we’re on him!”
The cops call for backup to watch their rear, fearing attacks from the zone. They arrest the two suspects.
Cop 1: “Hey - is the truck still drivable?”
Cop 2: “Yeah - it should be.”
Cop 1: “Okay - just drive it out of here, drive south to 89th street and we’ll process it there.”
A fish tots from the head and America is now led by idiots thanks to the long march of the leftist through our institutions.
The leftists have even infiltrated the useless GOP as well.
I’ll believe it when I see it. The Minneapolis police are partnering with the FBI. My bet is that the FBI will spend most of its time investigating “white supremacists” and little or no time investigating criminal activity associated with the George Floyd Autonomous Zone.
Probably just giving it away. An “Entitlement”, you know.
Sell? There’ll be a Fentanyl Free Zone. Not free OF fentanyl, free fentanyl. In honor of Saint George.
Just shoot the mofos
This won’t end well. People are going to get shot and the local businesses are going to burn. Again.
“FBI field office”? ROFL!!!!! They’re probably HELPING the thugs who’ve hijacked the Square!
Yeah, it would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.
See, 'woke' leftists want to tear down Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, etc. and replace them with real heroes.
I can not believe that any LEO could still be working for that city.
the young man they shot and dumped outside the compound was a community social worker who really had turned his life around. They should have bulldozed that camp the next day.
Kettle the area with a show of force, move to the center, and take them down one by one. If the core wants to play wild west renegades and shoot it out instead of going home, appeal to their baser human instincts and bring in the sound machine to make it very uncomfortable for them to persist in any other thought besides ‘must move away from Schubert’.
Shouldn’t have lasted more than 24 hours. Once set up the FBI and other agencies should have planned a joint raid and gone in and arrested anyone present and dismantled/destroyed their little camp.
