'We have black sons, black brothers, black friends, we don't want them to die.'

Anti-racism protestors again took to the streets in cities across the United States Sunday to voice their fury at police brutality as the Trump administration branded the instigators of five nights of rioting domestic terrorists.

"We have black sons, black brothers, black friends, we don't want them to die. We are tired of this happening, this generation is not having it, we are tired of oppression," said Muna Abdi, a 31-year-old black woman who joined the protest.Hundreds of police and National Guard troops were deployed ahead of the protest although there were no immediate reports of unrest.

The shocking videotaped death Monday of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, at the hands of police in Minneapolis ignited the nationwide wave of outrage over law enforcement's repeated use of lethal force against unarmed African Americans. Walz extended a curfew for a third night Sunday and praised police and guardsmen for holding down violence, saying,"They did so in a professional manner. They did so without a single loss of life and minimal property damage."

Trump blamed the extreme left for the violence, saying he planned to designate a group known as Antifa as a terrorist organization.
