Uma multidão tomou as ruas do centro de Minneapolis, estado de Minnesota nos Estados Unidos, na tarde da desta terça (26). A população tomou as ruas em protesto pelo assassinato de um homem, de nome George Floyd, por um policial por estrangulamento com uma chave de pescoço, popular gravata.
A população repetia em vozes e em cartazes os dizeres de George enquanto estava sendo sufocado “não consigo respirar, não consigo respirar”.
A polícia reagiu com bombas de gás, bombas de borracha e granadas.
Hours after the firing of the four cops involved, this is the south Minneapolis intersection near where George Floyd was killed on Memorial Day when an officer knelt on his neck. Protest has the whole block at a standstill. Vid: @KSTP pic.twitter.com/bOqYlyEoYe
