George Floyd Square, the area of Minneapolis where George Floyd died last May while in the custody of Minneapolis police, has become a “cop-free” “autonomous zone,” now also has special rules for white people who turn up to honor Floyd by visiting his makeshift memorial.
A sign near the entrance to the “autonomous zone” calls the area a “Sacred Space for Community, Public Grief, and Protest,” according to Fox News reporter Matt Finn, who took a photo of the flier listing guidelines for visitors. The sign “urges visitors to ‘honor the space as a place to connect and grieve as caring humans,'” but notes that white people visiting the memorial should abide by a more restrictive set of rules.
