Hundred of protesters arrested in Minneapolis as riots continue across US

Description

Minneapolis, May 31 (EFE/EPA).-Protests over racial violence continued Sunday in the United States’ main cities.The protests, which mostly began in a peaceful environment, later lead to incidents with the security forces, despite there being a curfew in at least 40 cities in the country.The reason for the protests affecting dozens of cities across the country is the death of African-American George Floyd in Minneapolis after he was restrained by a white policeman, already handcuffed, with his knee to his neck for several minutes, despite his pleas saying he couldn't breathe.In Minneapolis, where these protests originated, security forces arrested some 150 protesters on Sunday who defied the curfew, on the first night without violence since the riot broke out.
