Factbox: Where protests are expected following Minneapolis 'I can't breathe' death

NEW YORK - Thousands of protesters stormed the perimeter of Barclays Center in New York as protests spread across the United States over the killing of George Floyd, a Minneapolis black man who died after being pinned by the neck under a white police officer’s knee.

A diverse group of protesters cheered to hip hop music and tried to argue about police brutality with police officers in riot gear, who occasionally lunged into crowds to pluck people out for arrest after bottles and other projectiles were thrown. “The only way we get what we really want is through non-violence,” Bernice King said in her father’s hometown. “Let’s do this the non-violent way to deal with the evil of our time.”The Atlanta demonstration turned chaotic and at times violent. Fires were burning in downtown Atlanta near the CNN Center, the network’s headquarters.

AMERICA BIGGEST TERRORIST OF WORLD SLOWLY BUT SURELY is facing heavenly curse first crona deaths now this

Animals such as this are best kept in cages.

It's time to lock these animals up in prison, where they belong.

they are like HK people peacefully protesting

They are organized riots.

Not good violence my stop people I'll take it out you're only burning your own communities down and hurting other businesses

Every single cop in America should have to pass a full battery of psychological testing to keep his or her job. Pass — an equivocal result is a fail. Everyone currently in an academy has to pass the same battery to graduate.

I love how this issue trumps gun crime in the African American community. You guys are killing each other 5 to 7 times compared to any other demographic and you all lose your minds of this? Fucking sad.

In Democrat cities you can get arrested for opening a business, but not for looting one. MinneapolisRiot Coronavirus

China would’ve run ‘em down with tanks by now

Your fact box is wrong, it’s obvious this was used as an excuse to attack the USA — curious timing in many ways. Someone piggybacked on a protest as an opportunity to instigate and attack the USA.

I cant Believe it. Others can't Breathe it. Who will be the 'Cause' for next week's Riots in Germany?

Racism in the USA is unfortunately a systemic segregationist thing but men like Martin Luther King have emerged and fought for more equality in American society, but never through violence or through the use of it

mauriciohofmann Me acorde de la canción de los Tr3s 'Traje De Sastre' Traje desastre Traje alegría Traje alambre Bajé en subida Traje recuerdos Para olvidar Traje una cuerda Para colgar.... JusticeForGeorgeFlyod

well, you can't breathe because you lit that car on fire and you're choking on the smoke 👍

I can’t breathe when the rats come out of their holes

What's cause? I would like to know an opinion by ordinal peope in the USA. I want to know only a truth.

Collated latest footage in one video of collapsing situation in the USA which started in Minneapolis but is spreading like a wave to other states with slogans like 'F Capitalism!' This has nothing to do with George Floyd's death, it's been hijacked.

CORRECTION- These are not protests, but plannifed riots and looting mainly in DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED cities and states.

Not protests assholes not anymore. Call it what it is. Riots and killing and looting. NOT PROTESTS

ICantBreath is something we should not forget. Let people 'protest'

So democrats run the city. Still want to vote Biden? And you will have these mass for next 4 years.

All, i,see IGNORENT PEOPLE ... there actions speak louder then there words.. funniest part these folks make Martin Luther King memory .. VOID . Shame on you AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE So I laugh at you all. YOU SHOW THE WORLD. How you kill the dream.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Why should it take four days for a murderer to be arrested?.Will it have taken that long if the police officer was black?.Are blacks and other minorities not human beings?.Triump is the worst racist leader the world has ever produced since creation.Worst religious hypocrite.

WTF!! One man was killed in Detroit!!!

el partido demócrata mostrándose como es

Black people! Recapture the South Plantation that you take care of! Chinese people! Recapture the East-West Railway built by your ancestors! Hispanic! The light copy belongs to New Mexico! Aboriginal! Drive away those who dominate your Indian East Coast! Minority people unite!

These are not just protests.... These are 'organized criminal gangs' realdonaldtrump

These are riots not protests

time to start kicking some looter ass

Merica 🇺🇸. Greatest nation on earth. 🤔

Will Nancy Patricia Pelosi say 'it's a beautiful sight“ again?

MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR FREY INCITED THESE RIOTS! arrestfrey

They are riots. They are looters. They are scum.

Let it be known that the damage being caused is done by the same people trying to frame black people as violent.

unfair

It needs to be the Head Court the Supreme Court which allows these rogue cops and injustice to continue!

So sad. Follow me and I'll follow back immediately.

Don’t repay evil for evil. Time to respect George Floyd and his entire family. Thugs.

what a beautiful sight!!!! SpeakerPelosi TeamPelosi
