Demonstrators protest in Centennial Olympic Park, Friday, May 29, 2020 in Atlanta. Protests were organized in cities around the United States following the death of George Floyd during an arrest in Minneapolis.
Protesters pelted officers who came over with bottles, striking some of them. Other bottles thrown at authorities exploded behind the police line, but no officers appeared to get hit. Protesters chanted, “Quit your jobs.”ADVERTISEMENT Brackett wore a blue mask and sat with her partner and a friend. She was less concerned about the threat from the coronavirus.
Scores of water bottles flew from the crowd toward the officers, and in return police sprayed an eye-irritating chemical at the group twice. At a news conference, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said New York Police Department officers had been told to respect peaceful protest. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office tweeted from its official account that Chauvin is not at the residence and is not expected there. The office says it’s confirmed he has no plans to be in the area.ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Albuquerque police used a helicopter and tear gas as they retreated from a crowd of people after a confrontation that followed a protest of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.
The violence erupted Thursday night in Fontana as about 100 people moved up and down a thoroughfare and blocked traffic. Police say an unlawful assembly was declared and the crowd was ordered to disperse but some persisted. Videos obtained by The Associated Press show people smashing the building’s windows. One person briefly entered an office through a broken window but retreated before troopers within the building could catch him, said Ohio State Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Craig Cvetan.
Eventually the protesters ended up alongside U.S. Highway 59, one of the major thoroughfares in Houston. A group of about 60 to 70 shut down the freeway for at least half an hour. Houston police accompanied the protesters as they marched for less than half a mile along the freeway before they walked off of it. No arrests were made.“We stand with them protesting what happened in Minnesota,” said Acevedo. “I’m happy that they’re here today because people need to be heard, voices need to be heard.
Around 11 p.m., Phoenix police declared an unlawful assembly around the Capitol building. Protesters refused to leave the area, news outlets reported. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear read the statement from Breonna Taylor’s mother hours after gunshots erupted, wounding at least seven people, during protests late Thursday outside City Hall. At least one person was in critical condition, Louisville Metro Police said early Friday.
They aren't practicing social distancing
All hell breaks loose when people start acting EMOTIONAL rather than RATIONAL! No matter how hard you try, you can't fight fire with fire.
Let it be known that the damage being caused is done by the same people trying to frame black people as violent.
And the Cops just watch on ... Dont blame them ... Long live 2nd Ammend

Gun these thugs down
Scenes playing out on TV tonight makes me ashamed to have spent a large portion my life defending this nation.
Let me fix that. Rioters. There.
Thats it, AP fan the flames. The coroner says he died from his own health issues. The officer should be charged for murder. But get your facts straight, his own issues contributed to his death.
Dear Father God & Mother Earth, We pray for the safety of all protests in the United States tonight. May protesters be able to return home tonight without any violent interaction with law. May the Holy Spirit of Peace deescalate dangerous situations.
People who set fires & steal aren’t protestors they are garbage USING the death of someone to try to excuse their criminal behavior. They should be arrested in mass. Don’t tolerate this BS.
The description you were searching for AP is murdered. The cop murdered George Floyd.
This is not about the death of George Floyd! Progressive democrats are behind this & they are encountering this. I have not heard one democrat condemn this! This is out of control & they used this man’s death to start this! It’s about democrat power & control !
Imagine that. Atlanta is a cess pool of thugs.
IF we want to save the life of the next victim, THEN ACCOUNTABILITY right now should be clear - on the HEAD of the POLICE. A revolution is required within the police. All lives matter. Zero tolerance with police brutality. Head should improve or be replaced.
And...Didn’t something happen to the CNN building? Report that hacks
Let's put George's picture on our profile, all of us George in our hearts
Watching this changing ma good mood to a bad mood why this officers killing black always for no reason 3 officers putting their knee on George Floyd neck for 8 minutes is because of you want to kill that man that's why you the officers said that he can't win a dying person can't
America must release all black prisoners being held on non-violent marijuana “crimes”. IMMEDIATELY. Black men need to be given their dignity back!!! It’s a shame on our justice system.
Protest. Don’t destroy.
Protest over police brutality?
The constitution was written to save US....to save US...how is the constitution saving US WE NEED TO FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOM...for Justice 🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥
Why respond violence with violence? minneapolisriots there are better ways to handle this.
The rioters are wrong. They are acting violently and dangerously. They need to stop it. Now. They are hurting people and destroying lives. It’s awful. It’s not protest. It’s looting, opportunism, and dangerous vandalism.
Yeah the cops belong in jail! Rioting has no place in our communities! Just spreading hate!
Just imagine in China was suffering 1500 Covid deaths a day, there were riots in several cities against police brutality & the house of govt was under lockdown due to protesters. Our media would be cheering THE REVOLUTION IS HERE. COMMUNISTS ARE ABOUT TO FALL. But its the US...
5 Dallas officers were killed 7/7/16 by M.Johnson. Not a Peep,Protest, Rioting, Looting. So in actually real time, when law enforcement does something Irresponsible let's DESTROY EVERYTHING. But when a Civilian does it, hush hush that doesn't count. Simple terms Not Right.
After reading what these protesters are doing, I wonder if it's for a cause, or they're just fed up with staying indoors, or both?
This isn’t about George anymore. anarchist have infiltrated these riots.
We must unite as African Americans! We refuse to take the lashings of the white man any more! With The Don on our side, we will make blacks great again! Ahoy! BlackLivesMatter JusticeForGeorgeFlyod
This uncivilized behavior has nothing to do with George Floyd. Pay attention. Don’t get distracted. Something else is up.
What would bring justice? Finding all the crooked cops and letting them loose in prison?
Looting is not protesting. Burning down local homes and businesses is not protesting. How sad that the memory of GeorgeFloyd has been lost in all of this.
It's not a protest when you're burning down the city, Karen . That's what grownups call...... A riot!
The officer not only killed Floyd, but has caused social distress that is making people gather in huge crowds that is enabling the virus to spread more. The officer's poor judgement will also indirectly cause many people to die from the virus in the near future
Because burning things and stealing others merchandise that just screams JUSTICE? 🤦♀️🤦♀️
CNN Sucks
Ohhhh the irony... Reap what you sow.
Is using the word 'murdered' illegal? You know you can use that word for free right?
People saw how Minneapolis busted back. Now other cities wanna emulate that..
6 ft apart please
GeorgeFloyd
Still framing the story this way ? They aren't protesters FakeNews
So when you loot and burn down buildings it’s ok and Covid disappears.
Send every cop running in fear
Yup. CNN rialed everyone up then got their HQ destroyed. Was it “mostly peaceful” CNN
Died 'after' not 'because of' is correct. Post the coroner's report please.
Me:
White people mad mad. They doin all the rioting
Democrats: mission accomplished. Sad!
Is covid not a thing anymore?
prayers for the family of the police car.
Law and order must be maintained!
