Thousands clash with police over the death of a black citizen in the hands of police in the US

SAfm — After days of peaceful protests across the United States following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis earlier this week, nights of rage followed in America this past weekend. Chaos ensued in several cities from the East Coast through the Midwest to the West Coast of the country as tens of thousands clashed with law enforcement officers to express their anger, leaving destruction in their wake. Mayors in two-dozen cities imposed curfews - the first time so many locations issued similar order since 1968 in the aftermath of Martin Luther King's assassination. Around 1500 arrests have taken place across the country.
