RBC, George Floyd

I have been seeing police everywhere at the corner of Bloor and Yonge. They parked their cars in the most random location. I wonder whether it has something to do with the RBC location there which was the site of the protest for George Floyd in 2020. Since then there was construction around the bank which were completed just recently. Over the years I have been seeing the protests around the blocks chanting about freedom. Is the crime rate going up recently? I went on hinge to chat with people. It turned out the chats were not that successful. People often demanded to meet up in real life which I found stressful and not ready. It gave me huge doubts about myself wondering whether I’m ever going to find somebody and partner up ever again. It’s not anyone’s fault. I’m just wondering that’s all. I also met people on the streets, in the stores and at various locations. Does this mean anything?
