Relation to George Floyd incident

(courtesy pinging @Magnolia677 and Minnemeeples:) It has been added (and subsequently removed) a number of times 1) the close proximity of this shooting and the scene of the George Floyd incident and 2) the fact that it is happening during the ongoing trial. So, let's discuss. Are either of these worth mentioning in the article? Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 15:41, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! Reputable sources have covered that aspect. There is a reason this incident has provoked a strong reaction and such interest in the media. You can't tell the story of this incident without connecting it to broader unrest in the region and the circumstances. This incident didn't happen in isolation.

It's a coatrack. Keep it out. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:46, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not a coatrack. Not every traffic stop shooting ends with major protests and unrest. Ongoing events in the area are crucial context. Are there reliable sources that don't mention this info? Firefangledfeathers (talk) 15:50, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
