Two Cin- cinnati police ocers were charged: One was ac- quitted by a judge; the other had a trial that ended with the jury deadlocked. For Owensby and many others, Floyd’s death May 25 – which has led to days of protests in cities nationwide – is a reminder of how much work the nation still must do to protect the lives and civil rights of minorities. Asphyxiation deaths changed way city polices Sharon Coolidge and Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK See ASPHYXIATION, Page 6A COLUMBUS – As Ohioans gather to protest the death of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police o- cer, they also risk spreading the coronavirus if they aren’t careful. Leaders from U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams to Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton and Gov. Mike DeWine have expressed concerns about new outbreaks of the respiratory disease that could come from the densely populat- ed protests. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms even ad- vised protesters to get a COVID-19 test. Ohio’s restriction on gatherings of 10 or more people never applied to First Amendment- protected activities, such as religious services or protests. Still, Acton advised those present to take proper health precautions, such as wearing masks or staying farther apart. “We’re asking that people do it as safely as they can,” Acton said. “Speak. Do so safely. Do so with that kindness and thought for one another.” Fears virus will spread along with the protests See PROTESTS, Page 5A Jessie Balmert Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 2020 | CINCINNATI.COM | PART OF THE USA TODAY NETWORK “Another kick in the ass.” That’s how Ruthie Ochs described the damage to her Downtown candy store after a weekend of break-ins and looting in the aftermath of George Floyd’s slaying by a police ocer in Minneapolis. Peter Minges & Son, at the same location at 138 W. Court St. for more than a century, has been struggling to stay solvent following the state- wide shutdown of nonessential businesses to prevent spread of the coronavirus. The old-fashioned candy shop, which special- izes in hard-to-nd sweets such as candy ciga- rettes and marshmallow cones, stayed open dur- ing the shutdown because it was classied as a grocery providing essential services. But cus- tomers have been scarce. “At one point, we had days where we were only ringing $38 (in sales),” store manager Heather Rhor said. “Now this.’’ Rhor was referring to vandals who broke out a display window just after midnight Friday and stole nearly $1,000 worth of avored syrup used Pandemic, unrest a double whammy Manager Heather Rhor, left, and owner Ruthie Ochs outside Peter Minges & Son candy store.
