Protests against police violence continued well into their fifth straight night as outrage spread around the country following the in-custody death of George Floyd in Minneapolis on Memorial Day.
There were multiple instances of police brutality at the protests, including in New York City where at least two NYPD vehicles were recorded on video appearing to intentionally ram protesters.
In Denver:
The Denver Post reported that “a small, peaceful protest” over Floyd’s death “escalated into chaos Thursday evening after someone fired gunshots near the Capitol, sending demonstrators scattering across the city as police shot tear gas canisters and pepper spray.”
The protest around the country came as Minneapolis demonstrated for a third straight night on Thursday as the four officers fired from the police department remained free and avoided being arrested.
Protesters managed to breach the police station where the officers worked out of and set it on fire Thursday night.
