Large demonstrations across country anchor weekend of protests (LIVE) | USA TODAY

24

Large scale black lives matter demonstrations continue Sunday across the country. Concrete change to how police and law enforcement authorities are able to restrain and use force is already happening in some jurisdictions in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis, Minn, police officers. The underlying tension between law enforcement and the black community has yet to be addressed at large.

On Thursday, a memorial service for George Floyd at North Central University took place with attendees and speakers including Rev. Al Sharpton, Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart, T.I., Ludacris, and others. Members of George Floyd’s family thanked those in attendance and those speaking up for their support.

On Wednesday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced an upgrade to the charges against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin from murder in the third degree to second degree murder, and announced aiding and abetting charges against the other police officers who were present at the death of George Floyd.

  16. I am the Founder of Native American Global Exchange. I don't know actually what human, person, corporate, or other entity is responsible, but in the Austin, Tx., area a lot electronic devices are jammed, or don't work properly.

  17. The American news media controlled by the Six Corporations has turned into a communist propaganda machine that supports urban terrorism and burning down of America. BLM – Burn, Loot, and Murder and those scumbuckets blame white people for everything they have done or will do. They are urban terrorists that need to be shot down in the streets like the dogs they are. They are not representative of America but they are groups of terrorists that think they have power. They do not, shoot them down and remove the looters and murderers from the streets of our great country. We want America back!!!!!

  20. These kids are dumb enough to do that because they are brainwashed by the media…the media used the George Floyd incident to incite racism and violence , but it is the medias vindictive way of getting back at the fact that Hilary Clinton Lost to Trump. So they will do Everything in their power to stoke violence in America
