Black unrest in USA

Protests over the death  of unarmed black man George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis erupted  across the US .

George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was fatally arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota .

A video posted on social media of the incident allegedly showed white police officer Derek Chauvin pushing down on Mr Floyd's neck with his knee as he yelled, "I can't breathe." Mr Chauvin and his three colleagues present at the death were fired and an FBI investigation began.

A medical examiner in Minnesota classified Mr Floyd's death as a homicide. 

 An autopsy from the county medical examiner also called Floyd's death a homicide, but concluded he died from "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint and neck compression." 

Homicide is the act of one human killing another. A homicide requires only a volitional act by another person that results in death, and thus a homicide may result from accidental, reckless, or negligent acts even if there is no intent to cause harm.

 larger stores were being looted and the conflict between protesters and police as wel as the use of fireworks and projectiles.

Hundreds of protesters were gathering outside the gates, shouting curses at President Trump and  throwing bricks and bottles. The security officers abruptly rushed the president to the underground bunker used in the past during terrorist attacks.

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an international human rights movement, originating in the African-American community held major protests around the United States and world wide , due  to primarily to the police killing of George Floyd.
