Army called in as protests explode across US

George Floyd after a white officer pressed a knee into his neck while taking him into custody in Minnesota.

After hours of peaceful protest in downtown Atlanta, some demonstrators suddenly turned violent, smashing police cars, setting one on fire, spray-painting the iconic logo sign at CNN headquarters, and breaking into a restaurant. The crowd pelted officers with bottles, chanting “Quit your jobs.” "This case is now ready, and we have charged it," said county prosecutor Mike Freeman amid outrage over the latest death of an African American in police custody.

The 46-year-old Floyd's relatives -- who spoke Friday with President Donald Trump -- welcomed news of the arrest as a"step on the road to justice," but said they hoped for tougher charges and action against the other officers involved in Floyd's detention and death. Mayor Jacob Frey declared a night-long curfew Friday and Saturday as protesters appeared on the streets in Minneapolis again Friday.Police were out in force in other cities but protests took hold in Dallas, Houston, Memphis, Portland, Las Vegas and Des Moines.Floyd's family issued a statement acknowledging Chauvin's arrest, but calling the charges against him insufficient.

After attacking the protesters as"thugs" and threatening to send in federal troops to deal harshly with them, Trump shifted tone later Friday, announcing he had called Floyd's family to express his"sorrow." "The family of George is entitled to justice and the people of Minnesota are entitled to live in safety."Former president Barack Obama said in a statement that he shared the"anguish" of millions of Americans over Floyd's death.
