In the Minneapolis neighborhood where George Floyd died, voters disagree with Biden on policing. But they're voting for him anyway.

MINNEAPOLIS — In the neighborhood where George Floyd died, many residents disagree with Democratic nominee Joe Biden on policing. But they're voting for him anyway.

Voters at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center, who found themselves at the center of a resurgence of Black Lives Matter protests this summer, often expressed disagreement with Biden's record and plans for policing.

They say President Donald Trump is even worse, though, so they voted for Biden despite their reservations.

Floyd died at the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, the streets that border the west and south sides of Powderhorn Park, a neighborhood in south-central Minneapolis.

In 2016, then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton won the neighborhood with more than 80% of the votes; in the area immediately surrounding the park, Green Party candidate Jill Stein received more votes than Trump.

"I voted for Biden not because I like him, but because he's the better option," said Halia Frantzich, a 23- year-old Powderhorn Park resident who participated in the summer Black Lives Matter protests.

After Floyd's death, Frantzich and her neighbors got to work. If they weren't demonstrating, they were bringing medical supplies and food to the protesters. Frantzich also served the homeless encampment that temporarily settled in Powderhorn Park before police cleared the camp in July, arresting 21 activists and residents in the process.
