Protests against police brutality and systemic racism ignited by the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis [PHOTO CREDIT: AFP.com]Protests against police brutality and systemic racism were underway once again in the United States on Tuesday, setting the stage for potential fresh clashes a week after nationwide rallies ignited in the wake of George Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis.
Four police officers in St. Louis, Missouri, were injured by gunshots, as was an officer in Las Vegas, Nevada, during encounters with protesters overnight.Protesters have also been injured and thousands arrested in cities across the country. Governors in New York, Massachusetts, Michigan and Illinois were among those who have rejected Trump’s push for a heavier hand, as the president seeks to make a show of force and bolster his status as a self-proclaimed leader of law and order.
In a speech in Philadelphia, a city hit by sustained protests and violence, Biden vowed, that if elected president, he would enact civil rights reforms.With the election moving closer on the horizon, Trump is trailing in some national polls, though analysts caution to not read too much into numbers at this stage.
