| Gunshots mar anniversary observance in George Floyd Square | |
| 2021-05-25 | |
| [HotAir] The headline is a quote from Associated Press reporter Philip Crowther, who understandably worried where dozens of shots came from — and where they were going to as well. The journalist happened to be recording a video segment on today’s anniversary of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, using what’s now known as George Floyd Square as a backdrop.

But it's so hard not to laugh... “We’re okay, we’re okay,” a voice reassures Crowther, but not necessarily by much. "Incoming! Incoming!" The shooting actually took place one block over from Floyd Square, apparently still within the unofficial “autonomous zone” where police usually are reluctant to tread:
