Brooklyn, Jun 4 (EFE/EPA).- Crowds gathered at Brooklyn’s Cadman Plaza on Thursday for a march and vigil to honor the life of George Floyd, whose murder while in police custody last week sparked a nationwide wave of protests, riots and looting.Terrence Floyd — George Floyd’s brother and a Brooklyn resident — attended the vigil and urged the crowd of protesters to remain peaceful. Floyd, who has become a symbol of the hunger for change, was arrested by Minneapolis police, handcuffed and placed facedown on the pavement but then suffocated when a white cop knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes, a shocking death scene that was recorded by passersby on their cellphones and has sparked outrage and anger all across the US.
