The United States was haunted by a weekend of protests over the death of George Floyd.

Protesters are demanding all four officers who arrested him including the white police officer who knelt on his neck to be charged in Floyd’s death.

So far, only the white officer Derek Chauvin was charged on Friday with first-degree murder and manslaughter.

Derek Chauvin was filmed by the passersby kneeling and pressing his knees into Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes as the handcuffed black man was pleading, “I can’t breathe”. “I can’t breathe”. The video went viral on social media and sparked furor in the US.

Videos show police responding with tear gas, targeting angry but peaceful protesters . Journalists have also been targeted by police, according to Aljazeera reporting from there.

However, protesters have remained undeterred by curfews and the presence of the US National Guard in some cities.

Some largely peaceful protests turned violent, with looting and vandalism as the night raged.
