Protests over the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody have prompted government and police officials across the United States to enact or propose changes aimed at showing demonstrators that their concerns about police brutality and racism are being heard.

On June 3, prosecutors newly charged Chauvin with second-degree murder as protests continued. Three fellow officers fired from the Minneapolis police department were charged June 3 with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and manslaughter. Several universities and towns in the South, including Nicholls State University in Louisiana, renamed buildings and roadways titled after Confederate leaders. The U.S. Marine Corps on Friday banned public displays of the Confederate flag at its facilities.
Other governments discussed new policies for apprehending suspects to reduce the risk of deadly encounters. Lexington, Kentucky, said top police officials now would need to approve “no-knock” warrants, which are used to forcibly enter homes but can result in residents shooting at officers seen as intruders.
