George Floyd's death: Protesters and police clash for a fifth night despite curfews





Protesters break curfew on another night of fury and frustrations over George Floyd's killing

Protests over George Floyd's death continued for a fifth night Saturday with escalating violence and multiple instances of fires in several major cities. Curfews have been enacted in at least 25 cities, including Minneapolis, Philadelphia and Los Angeles.

Tensions flared in cities from New York to Philadelphia to Columbia, S.C., as thousands of people amassed to protest the death of a black man in police custody.

Police have arrested nearly 1,400 people in 17 U.S. cities since Thursday

Police cars were set aflame, freeways were blocked, windows were shattered and authorities deployed tear gas and even rubber bullets.


Which will be Trump reaction now? Will he make a final effort to appeal to black voters?
