The death of George Floyd has lead to protests all over America, and even some riots. After the video of police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd´s neck for nearly 9 minutes went viral, the black lives matter movement has risen once again. This video is only one of many, but it has caused uproar across America, and people are standing up against police brutality. Lots of people have donated money towards the black lives matter movement, and towards george floyd´s family, as well as families of other victims of police brutality. People have also decided to start protesting, in fact, all 50 states have been confirmed to have had protests. These protests started off peacefully, but police officers have been captured on video starting the looting of businesses, and the destroying/vandalism of things. The have also been shown macing people, deploying tear gas, shooting, and causing fatal injuries to peaceful protesters. In response to this protesters have decided to riot. They have burned down buildings and structures, looted stores, destroyed police cars, and a whole lot more. I feel like America is responding very well to current issues, however the leader/s of America are most definitely not. I feel like despite all of this effort, there still has not been change, as innocent people are still dying every day at the hands of the police. I feel like in order for this to stop happening, the entire system needs to be reformed. There can be no ´´bad apples´´ when it comes to police, who are supposed to protect us, not kill us.

In Chicago they are riots and protester all around. They want justice for the murder of George Floyd in Minnesota. At least that is how it started but now some are just using this as an excuse to do loot a lot of stores. Taking down stores that had nothing to do with hurting other families and thinks that is justified its sad. last weekend 1500 people were arrested and still not facing serious charges. This is taking away from the original purpose of this protest.

CHICAGO — A Chicago man is facing federal arson charges after investigators said he set fire to a Chicago police squad car.

The criminal complaint states Timothy O’Donnell was wearing a clown mask when he set fire to a Chicago Police Department cruiser on North State Street on Saturday during protests following the death of 46-year-old George Floyd.

Investigators identified O’Donnell based on a tattoo on his neck that said “pretty.” He was arrested Tuesday at his apartment on 19th Place in Pilsen.

The complaint goes on to say O’Donnell admitted to being the man in the mask.

State and local officials across the country have imposed curfews following protests over George Floyd's killing in Minneapolis last week. While many of the demonstrations have been peaceful, others have turned violent, prompting mayors and governors to call in the National Guard and impose curfews.Here are the places where curfews have been issued. This list will be updated.
I feel that america could have responded in a better way because most of the stores in Chicago are closed and things like food and other essentials won't be available.

The officer in the video seen kneeling on Floyd has been identifed by the Minneapolis Star Tribune as Officer Derek Chauvin. Chauvin’s partner, Tou Thao, can be seen in the video ignoring bystanders who were begging Chauvin to get off of Floyd. A photo shows two other unidentified officers, who are blocked by the SUV in the video, were also holding Floyd down.
Four officers involved in the incident have been fired, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey announced Tuesday.
But i think that the protesters want more for them than being fired, they want the other three Officers to also go to jail like the other officer.. Which is really understandable and not at the same time.

You know, its a little weird that for years now we have been doing what Martin Luther King Jr. did which was peacefully protest and it just hasn't worked because it will take weeks for an African-American man who was murdered for doing nothing  get justice. The recent protest that were happening was turned into riots by police officers. They went undercover to pretend like a protester and they started destroying the cites. Before we realized this, we realized that we built America so therefore we get to destroy what we built. And after all of the destroying we finally got what we wanted which was justice for not only George Floyd but for every other African- American who was murdered by the hands of a police. And after all of that the president basically told police officers that they have permission to kill protesters. And after that people started looting places and now we are , in my opinion The Civil War number 2.

In recent days, thousands of people, many wearing masks to protect against Covid-19, have poured into streets around the country to condemn yet another instance of police violence. For the most part, these heavily black protests have been peaceful. On Tuesday, unrest erupted in Minneapolis after a small group of people tagged squad cars and broke a window near a precinct house where they believed the officers who harmed Floyd worked. (Four officers were fired for their involvement in Floyd's death.)
The images of police escalation over the past 72 hours are striking: flash grenades, projectile launchers, rubber bullets, protesters doused with milk to calm the sting of tear gas.

"This shouldn't be 'normal' in 2020 America," former President Barack Obama said on Friday. "It can't be 'normal.'"

Local and federal officials are still trying to quantify how significant a role the outside groups are playing in the unrest that has spread to cities all over the US. Officials are scrambling to identify the affiliations of the extremists taking part in the riots, property destruction and attacks on police, and allegations of foreign influence stoking the unrest online are being actively tracked.

Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz said Sunday that ultimately the catalyst of the protests was the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who was held down at the neck by white police officer Derek Chauvin, who was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter on Friday. But the state is looking at data from arrests and human intelligence that points to some outside influence seeking to capitalize on the situation and create unrest.

"I certainly think I want to believe it is outside more and that might go to the problem that we have of saying 'it can't be Minnesotans'," Walz said at a Sunday morning press conference. "I know there are outside folks in there whether they are the predominance or whether leading or not." But the catalyst, he said, was the murder of George Floyd and that was "our problem."

Black rebellion and protest, though, have historically never been coupled with allegiance to American democracy. Today, peaceful demonstrations and violent riots alike have erupted across the country in response to police brutality and the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. Yet the language used to refer to protesters has included looters, thugs, and even claims that they are un-American. The philosophy of force and violence to obtain freedom has long been employed by white people and explicitly denied to black Americans.
Americans like to harken back to the civil-rights era as a moment of nonviolence and civil disobedience. But that movement was an orchestrated response to violence. Violence at the voting booth. Violence at the lunch counter. Violence that bombed a church with four little black girls inside. Violence that left a bloated black boy in an open casket. Violence that left a black husband and father murdered in his driveway. The movement ended with the violent death of Martin Luther King Jr. And his death ignited riots in more than 100 cities.

Combined with last week’s report that 3.3 million people sought unemployment aid two weeks ago, the U.S. economy has now suffered nearly 10 million layoffs in just the past few weeks far exceeding the figure for any corresponding period on record.

On the date of May 25 a 46 year old African American man died by the hands of a police officer. He was accused of using a counterfeit $20 bill at a deli. The police officer that arrived goes by the name of Derek Chauvin. When he came he told Floyd to put his hands and all those other things and Floyd did not resist, he did what he was told. But the cop had kneeled on Floyd's neck for about 9 minutes until he was dead. The cop in the photo is looking nonchalant about what he is doing, he doesn't even care. This is why America should care because some white cops don't. We need to be together, especially with this coronavirus that is occurring.

So these past few weeks we've been experiencing a pandemic called Covid-19 or Corona-virus. This has caused people to get a stay at home order from our Mayor Lori Lightfoot. But as of May 31 2020 There has been a riot which was supposedly supposed to be on a mans death named George Floyd. I believe that this isn't about George Floyd because the rioter are destroying black business and aren't protest but the ones who are protesting are standing up to cops with Ar's. This is happening all around the United States even though George Floyd's wife asked them not to do it. Yes it is very sad but the riots shouldn't be done because the whites and black are starting to come together for justice. But the rioters are destroying everything.
