This tragic and monstrous event broke everyone’s heart, Floyd (46) was killed with the last words “I can’t breathe”.
Footage of the incident prompted the authorities to arrest all those involved and to impose a third-degree sentence on Derek Chauvin, who is charged with murder.
The protesters in Lafayette Square were accompanied by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in response to the death of George Floyd. She joined on Tuesday after expressing her anger over a decision to fire pepper balls and smoke canisters on crowds.
Warren was spotted walking through the crowd with her husband Bruce Mann and her dog Bailey. She paused after a protester asked her why President Trump had positioned the military there.
She responded because he was wrong and was causing violence against the people. She added that people had come to protest peacefully.
Many demonstrations have gone into violent clashes between police and protesters, while looting and vandalism broke out in several cities. Trump has vowed to activate the military if unrest continues.
A large number of protesters quietly protested in front of the White House on Monday. The curfew went into effect when police forces fired balls of pepper and smoke canisters in an attempt to clear the area.
The president of the United States of America used tear gas to clean the demonstrators in front of the White House. He also threatened the people that he would activate the army against them, Warren said on Monday.
She also called for the impeachment of Attorney General William Barr after reports surfaced that he had ordered the removal of protesters.
Floyd died last week. This was the most heartbreaking event in history.
Don’t judge people, love more, hate less!
