More than 40 cities across the United States have imposed curfews, as protests rage over the death of unarmed black man George Floyd in police custody. For more details, visit our live blog:

It is now Sunday in the US and at least. The death toll is understood to be at four, after two people were shot dead in Saturday's protest at Indianapolis. CNN reports 5000 National Guard members have been activated in 15 states.

Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo has appeared on state television from the site of the city's protest, saying he believes the death of George Floyd allegedly at the hands of one of his force was a "violation of humanity" and telling his family he believed the three other officers present were "complicit".

Mr Arrandondo fired the four officers after video of the incident emerged early last week and appeared to depart from the account they had given to their superiors. A video posted by Mr Arvier to Twitter, he said the action shows "the level of frustration [as] the police are not going to be moving back".

Sydney Liberal MP Dave Sharma has said protesters should"cool it a little and just engage in peaceful protests".“What started off as legitimate and thoughtful peaceful protests have either been seized or hijacked by certain elements that are turning into looting and property damage,” he said.

It's not the protest . It riots and crime.

its a way to get ppl to stay at home cos of covid19....

These riots have nothing to do with George Floyd. These leftist anarchist mobs.

Multiculturalism will always have race relation problems, the road map to peace and stability is to bring back segregation & to live peacefully separately. Forcing the races to live together merely creates more racism & social unrest, its a failed social experiment.
