George Floyd Death: Massive Protests Erupt In US Over Heinous Police Killings

The act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest, Biden said in a statement Saturday night.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden condemned the violence as he continued to express common cause with those demonstrating after Floyd's death.

Police have arrested at least 1,669 people in 22 cities since Thursday.

People set fire to police cars, threw bottles at police officers and busted windows of storefronts.

Cars and businesses were torched, the words I can't breathe were spray-painted all over buildings.

In Washington, growing crowds outside the White House chanted, taunted Secret Service agents and at times pushed against security barriers.

The protests, which began in Minneapolis following Floyd's death have left parts of the city a grid of burned-out buildings and ransacked stores.

Police cars set ablaze and reports of injuries mounting on all sides as the country lurched toward another night of unrest.

Tense protests over the death of George Floyd and other police killings of black men grew, from New York to Tulsa to Los Angeles.
