Protests have erupted across the nation in response to the death of George Floyd, and some of the demonstrations have turned violent, leading political leaders and activists to debate over who is responsible.
But former NAACP President and CEO Cornell William Brooks, who is now a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School where he runs a civil rights clinic, told All Things Considered that Derek Chauvin — the police officer who knelt on Floyd's neck — should be blamed for the violent protests, too.
\"But be clear: There would be no protests, there would be no demonstrations, had Derek Chauvin not killed George Floyd.

ZIMBABWE international defender Teenage Hadebe is set to resume his battle against relegation as he returns to action for his Turkish Super League club, Yeni Malatyaspor, on Saturday after more than two months of inactivity due to the COVID-19-induced lockdown.
The spotlight will, however, be on Turkey this weekend where Warriors defender Hadebe will be the first Zimbabwean footballer in Europe to return to action since the imposition of the lockdown across the globe.
It also marks his return to action after nearly a month on the sidelines due to suspension as his side hosts Kasimpasa in a league match on Saturday.
Although the Warriors produced a lacklustre show — exiting the premier football tournament in the first round with only a point to show for their participation, at individual level, Hadebe had done enough to draw the attention of several scouts and Yeni Malatyaspor was one of the first to pounce.
With the English Premier League set to resume a week later, another Zimbabwean Marvelous Nakamba who turns out for Aston Villa is scheduled to kick the ball for the first time since the lockdown when his side also in similar circumstances, gets into action.
Luanda — The amendment to the Civil Protection Law, approved Wednesday during a general voting in Parliament, will enable the enforcement of a number of measures to respond to the covid-19 pandemic, outside a scenario of state of emergency.
Mentioning the four reasons, the minister spoke of the context of need characterised by the pandemic that could require the adoption of other measures outside the state of emergency currently in force in the country.
In general, he said, the requested amendment aims to adapt the law to the 2010 Constitution, since the previous one, in force since 2003, did not provide the Executive with sufficient tools to put in place an effective system of responses to situations of serious collective risk.
For this reason, he stressed, in order to make it more comprehensive, the Executive is proposing a change to the denomination, from Civil Protection Law to Civil Protection and Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management Law.
On the other hand, opposition party MPs expressed support for the Executive's legislative initiative, since they believe civil protection to be essential to the functions of the State and fulfils the duty to ensure the right to life, physical integrity and security, but call for its adequacy to the Constitution.
