Floridians protest killing of George Floyd –

Protests around the country continued over the weekend as Americans expressed their rage over the May 25 killing of George Floyd, 46.

From Tallahassee to Miami, Floridians took to the streets to condemn the actions of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin and three other officers, who were videotaped using excessive force on Floyd.

Chauvin pressed his knee against Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes while Floyd pleaded that he couldn’t breathe.

In some cities around the country, the protests turned violent as buildings and police cars were set on fire, and stores were looted.

Dozens of cities around the U.S., including Miami, imposed curfews after the protests turned violent.
