Dozens Arrested, Officers Injured As Another Round Of Protests Over George Floyd’s Death Takes Place In Manhattan, Brooklyn

Protests continued across the country Friday after a white Minneapolis police officer who was was seen on video kneeling on the neck of a black man was arrested and charged with murder.

From Foley Square to the Brooklyn Bridge, the Barclays Center to police headquarters, thousands marched through New York, sparked by the killing of George Floyd.
Too much brothers and sisters that look like us dying and we’re tired of it. We’re from New York, but it happens all over the world and it needs to stop, protester Maria Almestica said.

Organizers asked people bring flowers in Floyd’s honor. The words “I can’t breathe” were on countless banners, masks and lips.
“I’m fifteen years old. This is my first protest, and I feel like if the younger generation doesn’t help, who will?” one protester said.
“Gay, black, straight, everyone’s down here for a right reason,” protester David Blair said.
Protesters shut down traffic in Lower Manhattan, despite hundreds of NYPD officers trying to keep them on the sidewalks.
