, a black man who was killed Monday after a Minneapolis police officer pinned him to the ground with his knee.
Television footage showed the protesters blocking the freeway and confronting a California Highway Patrol patrol car. It appeared from video that at least one patrol car was vandalized by protesters during the confrontation, and one protester was injured after falling off the CHP cruiser as it drove away. That protester then receieved medical attention, and the person’s condition was not released.
“I’m concerned. They have exhibited a significant degree of violence,” LAPD Asst Chief Robert Arcos said. “The actions I watched in the video were incredibly disturbing and go against the basic law enforcement and principle of preservation of life,” he said.Moore said Wednesday night that he was also “troubled by the violence on the freeway.”The mayor of Minneapolis called Wednesday for criminal charges to be filed against the white police officer seen on the video kneeling on the neck of Floyd during an arrest, even after the man said he couldn’t breathe and stopped moving.
