The officer was shot in the area of the Las Vegas Strip and an officer was involved in a shooting in the downtown area, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reported early Tuesday.
Protesters have been rallying for days across the country over the death of George Floyd, who was seen on video pleading that he couldn't breathe with a white police officer pressing his knee into his neck for several minutes before he stopped moving. Police in Las Vegas said Monday that 338 people were arrested during three nights of protests. Officers used tear gas and pepper balls to disperse crowds late Saturday downtown and Sunday on the Las Vegas Strip.
Police said suspects were jailed despite a local court policy calling for most people accused of misdemeanour crimes to receive court summonses instead of time behind bars to help prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.
Wishing you a speedy recovery......🙏🙏💕🇨🇦
If you want things to progress forward violence, looting, & shootings will not get you (whether black or white) there!! RESPECT & UNDERSTANDING must come to the forefront!! That communication might open a pathway to change. The POWER exists in the numbers of people in protest!
This has got to stop
