George Floyd mass protests in the US: Latest developments | DW News
Another night of unrest in the US with protests in some 75 cities, after the death of George Floyd, a black man in police custody. The national guard has been deployed in a number of states. Curfews were extended in major cities as police struggle to contain the situation. And there’s been a memorial for George Floyd in Minneapolis, where he died a week ago after an officer knelt on his neck.
Earlier in Minneapolis, a truck drove through a crowd of protesters on a highway overpass. Miraculously, it appears only one person was slightly injured.

They’re hitting the streets,” the Harvard Divinity School professor said. “The problem is we have a system that’s not responding and seems to be unable to respond,” he added. [HuffPost]
