Police reforms tested in city where officer killed Black man,The Rev. James Stokes remembers Grand Rapids following the slaying of George Floyd, when demonstrations devolved into rioting that left businesses damaged and scores of people arrested.

After video of that shooting was publicly released, outrage in the community grew, and some feared a violent response.
