Protests in the wake of George Floyd's death escalate as demonstrators breached a Minneapolis police precinct, forcing officers to evacuate
MINNEAPOLIS — Protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death boiled over Thursday night as protesters gained access to the Minneapolis Police Department’s 3rd precinct building, forcing officers to evacuate.
Hundreds of protesters flooded Minneapolis streets on Thursday for a march through downtown. Traffic was halted as a crowd of people stretched for up to four blocks. Protesters shouted “I can’t breathe” and “no justice, no peace; prosecute the police” as volunteer marshals in highlighter-colored vests directed traffic.
"The protests in Minneapolis are efforts by black and brown activists to rise up against centuries-old racism within the police department and prosecutors office and resist the white supremacy that has claimed far too many black lives."
