Hundreds block Silicon Valley highway over Floyd killing.

Video footage showed vehicles at a virtual standstill on the southbound lanes of U.S. 101 in San Jose ahead of rush hour during a pandemic that has kept many Californians home.

An unlawful assembly was declared around 9 p.m., and the crowd was ordered to disperse. But some continued to block traffic and throw rocks at officers, police said. It took about an hour to disperse the demonstrators. The damage included broken windows at City Hall. Mayor Acquanetta Warren had attended the largely peaceful protest. In a statement, she said the crowd "got hijacked by people who decided to throw rocks at innocent drivers and police officers who were simply doing their jobs."

7 shot at Kentucky protest over fatal police shooting of Breonna TaylorAt least seven people were shot Thursday night in Louisville as protesters turned out to demand justice for Breonna Taylor, a black woman fatally shot by police in her home in March. Why the apathy for a couple months I wonder? RIP dear soul So they're trying to kill each other in the process. They're animals that only care about skin color. But their votes are needed, so let the political influencers continue the manipulation.

George Floyd case: Family, friends describe him as 'gentle giant' looking for a new lifeGeorge Floyd's family, friends describe the 'gentle giant' who was killed Monday night in Minneapolis TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP HAD HIM KILLED. TRUMP LOVES HITLER. It doesn't really matter if he was a gentle giant. He could've been a murderer on the loose - doesn't matter. A cop on the street doesn't get to kill you with cuffs on by suffocating you to death. Due process exists for a reason and those cops are no better than gangsters I don’t care what he did wrong no man black nor white should die a senseless death, one which could have been avoided. This is very sad 😔

Minneapolis mayor: 'Bleeding needs to stop'Minneapolis Mayor Frey says a 'culture shift' in the city's police department needs to occur, following the death of George Floyd. “Part of that starts with accountability now ... people talk about healing ... but right now, the bleeding needs to stop.” This nothing but all talk that doesn't prove shit right now. Black people should not be held to a legal standard. Black people should burn down the city. Good things will result.
