People gather at Bryant Park to protest on the first day of the trial for the killing of George Floyd last May on March 08, 2021 in New York City. The jury selection was delayed on Monday in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin while an appeal proceeds over the possible reinstatement of a third-degree murder charge. Chauvin, who is being charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Floyd, placed a knee on Floyd's neck for nearly ten minutes resulting in the death of Floyd.
