Yesterday, US President Donald Trump courted controversy after he said it is a ‘great day’ for George Floyd while speaking about falling unemployment rates in the country. He spoke about the ongoing protests over racial discrimination and stressed the need for equal treatment especially during encounters with law enforcement.

An African-American man Geroge Floyd was killed by a policeman as he exerted pressure on his neck publicly in America. The whole incident was captured on camera which was followed by outrage among people. The residents of the United States came out on the streets showing placards and raising their voice against the death of African-American man.

A matter of relief is that the lootings have stopped since the deployment of national guards. Protests are not violent, rather people are staging peaceful demonstrations.
