Violence erupted in several US cities on the sixth days of protests that began in response to the police killing of Black American George Floyd
As a result, curfews have been imposed in about 40 US cities, but large numbers of people have ignored sanctions, raising tensions across the country.
Clashes broke out between anti-riot police and rioters in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Los Angeles, with police firing tear gas and pepper spray to disperse the crowd.
Police vehicles were also set on fire in various cities and several shops were looted
The U.S. National Guard, deployed to deal with domestic emergencies, said Sunday it has 5,000 personnel deployed in 15 states, including Washington, D.C.
It is believed that a crowd of people gathered near the White House in Washington DC again yesterday and this time they set fire and also threw stones at the law enforcement officials.
US President Donald Trump has blamed the left-wing group Antifa for the violent protests that erupted after the death of a black man.
The US president declared Antifa a terrorist organization and accused the left-wing group of hijacking peaceful protests
According to the foreign news agency, the Antifa group was formed against the far-right racism. President
Trump said that if the mayor of Minneapolis had banned Intifa on the first day, everything would have been fine
Many states have become battlegrounds and the situation has become extremely tense.Violence is also raging in the state of Minnesota. Despite the curfew, protesters stormed several superstores. They broke the glass and looted valuables and the police could not come to their aid. Police in Los Angeles used rubber bullets, but the mob remained uncontrollable and riots continued. At one point, journalists covering the violence were also hit and injured by rubber bullets. Violent protesters set fire to several vehicles and buildings. Clashes between police and protesters continue.
Protests erupted last week after George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man from Minnesota, died in police custody. According to the report, the police had arrested George Floyd on suspicion of using counterfeit currency notes where he died in custody.
The video of the citizen's arrest showed police officers strangling him, while George Floyd could be heard saying he could not breathe. George Floyd was later pronounced dead and protests erupted in the state. Derek Chauvin, a white police officer involved in George Floyd's murder, was later arrested and charged with third-degree murder. Derek Chauvin is one of four officers fired after the video went viral and was charged with third-degree murder. It was Derek Chauvin who kept George Floyd's neck on his knees with full force for five minutes, killing the black man.
Several people were injured in the violent protests, while four people were killed.
