BLM Protests and riots start after George Floyd's death (may 26, 2020 – 10h 32min, oct 12, 2020 y)

Description:

The area around the location at which Floyd died became a makeshift memorial throughout May 26, with many placards paying tribute to him and referencing the Black Lives Matter movement. As the day progressed, more people showed up to demonstrate against Floyd's death. The crowd, estimated to be in the hundreds of people, then marched to the 3rd Precinct of the Minneapolis Police. Participants used posters and slogans with phrases such as "Justice for George", "I Can't Breathe", and "Black Lives Matter".

The protests were initially peaceful, but later there was vandalism of stores; at the the 3rd Precinct police station windows were broken and fires set. This led to police officers in riot gear using tear gas and flash grenades on the protesters, while some protesters threw rocks and other objects at the police. The police also used rubber bullets and smoke bombs against the protesters. (Wikipedia)
