A police precinct in Minneapolis went up in flames late Thursday in a third day of angry demonstrations over the shocking police killing of a handcuffed black man.

Local and federal investigators said they were working the explosive case as fast as they could.

"To be clear, President Trump, as well as Attorney General William Barr, are directly and actively monitoring the investigation in this case." One person died of a gunshot wound, and police were reportedly investigating whether he was shot by a store owner. Mr Floyd's killing evoked memories of riots in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014 after a policeman shot dead an African American man suspected of robbery, and the case earlier the same year of New Yorker Eric Garner, who died after New York police put him in an illegal chokehold as they tried to detain him for selling cigarettes.Getty Images North AmericaSeveral hundred people demonstrated in New York's Union Square on Thursday, leading to at least five arrests.

Those aren’t demonstrations . They are criminal acts, including robbery , looting , assault and violence. Call it what it is .

Looting Target is protesting?

It’s not all about the killing, it’s an excuse to loot , and burn things

What the police officers did was absolutely wrong and should be punished.. what the looters are doing is absolutely wrong and should be punished.

we are a close ally (or servant?) to this country!

Went up in flames all by itself Case of self combustion? Or was it torched by rioters and looters...

It was MURDER. Call it what it is.

They are called “riots”.

Demonstrators? More like looters and criminals.

The office that MURDERED GeorgeFloyd should be sentenced to life in prison, HOWEVER, rioting, looting and setting a police presinct on fire, where 99% of workers are GOOD workers, is criminal by definition. It’s not eye for an eye in a first world country. JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
