(CNN) With jury deliberations in Derek Chauvin's trial in the death of George Floyd expected next week, Minneapolis and other US cities are preparing for protests and possible civil unrest. A nationwide reckoning on policing and systemic racial injustice reignited by Floyd's death last summer has prompted new, sometimes violent, protests this week. Minneapolis Public Schools will move to remote learning starting on Wednesday in anticipation of a trial verdict, according a letter to students and parents from Superintendent Ed Graff. Workers installed security fencing at the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis last month. The Atlanta Police Department said in a statement that it's coordinating efforts with local, state, and federal law enforcement and have officers prepared to respond quickly.
