Several cities across the US resembled war zones as crowds defied curfews to protest the death of George Floyd, who spent his last moments pinned under an officer's knee on his neck, begging for his life.

For the past five days, thousands of protesters remained civil and never caused any unrest. Many knelt, others chanted, and some carried signs with Floyd's last words:"I can't breathe."

Derek Chauvin, the ex-Minneapolis officer seen in a video kneeling on Floyd's neck for almost 9 minutes, was charged Friday with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. His bail has been set at $500,000. "Additional gas is being deployed outside the courthouse. The crowd is being warned of their unlawful assembly," the city's police department tweeted Saturday night.

In New York City, 33 officers were injured overnight, including some who were seriously injured, a senior NYPD official told CNN. A CNN analysis found about 80% of the 51 people booked into a Minneapolis jail during two days of protests are actually from Minnesota.
