San Diego joins protests following the death of George Floyd | Kate Morrissey

After spending most of the afternoon in a standoff with police in downtown San Diego, protesters calling for justice for black people killed by police found a place to breathe.They suddenly turned away from the officers who had fired tear gas, flashbangs and less-lethal ammunition at them and made their way to the County Administration Building, where the group of roughly 1,000 held a moment of silence for more than six minutes.Speakers called for unity and end to racial inequity in policing.“Black lives matter now and forever,” one man said, addressing the crowd through a megaphone.
