“We have black sons, black brothers, black friends, we don’t want them to die.” UnitedStates Curfew
With the Trump administration branding instigators of six nights of rioting as domestic terrorists, there were more confrontations between protestors and police and fresh outbreaks of looting.
“We have black sons, black brothers, black friends, we don’t want them to die. We are tired of this happening, this generation is not having it, we are tired of oppression,” said Muna Abdi, a 31-year-old black woman who joined the protest.At one point, some of the protestors who had reached a bridge were forced to scramble for cover when a truck drove at speed after having apparently breached a barricade.
Officials in LA — a city scarred by the 1992 riots over the police beating of Rodney King, an African-American man — imposed a curfew from 4:00 pm Sunday until dawn. Chauvin has been charged with third-degree murder and is due to make his first appearance in court on Monday. Trump blamed the extreme left for the violence, saying he planned to designate a group known as Antifa as a terrorist organization.
