Martin Luther King's son says late father would be 'disturbed' by violence

The son of late civil rights leader Martin Luther King has shared how he may have reacted if he was here to see the protests in America, following the death of George Floyd last week.

He was pinned down by Minneapolis police officers arresting him on suspicion of using a counterfeit $20 note in a store. Some protests have turned violent with looting and rioting, with the police and members of law enforcement taking extreme action against civilians with tear gas and batons. Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968, five years after his famous "I have a dream" speech with him marching for freedom, equal rights and an end to racism.
