Minneapolis

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been sentenced for the murder of George Floyd.

The Minnesota State Patrol arrested a CNN television crew as they reported on violent protests in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man who pleaded for air as a white police officer knelt on his neck.

If you're like me, and you watched the horrific video of the death of George Floyd, the black man who was killed after a police officer held his knee to Floyd's neck for nearly 8 minutes, you struggled with finding the right words to respond.

I have flown a lot recently because of my job. In and out of California, Montana and Minnesota just to name of few. The only place that I hadn't been to before flying into it wass Minneapolis/St. Paul airport around New Years when I made a stop there on my way to Sacramento.

Since I moved to town and discovered that Billings is called the Magic City, I have wondered what is behind that name.
