Walnut Creek, Jun 2 (EFE/EPA).-Local businesses in Walnut Creek, about 40 kilometers east of San Francisco, have begun to board up their stores to prevent property damanges and looting following an overnight protest over the Minnesota arrest of George Floyd, who later died in police custody. The 46-year-old Floyd died on May 25 when a Minneapolis police officer - Derek Chauvin - knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes after Floyd had been handcuffed and placed facedown on the pavement. During the first several minutes, Floyd complained that he could not breathe and pleaded for help, but then he lost consciousness, although Chauvin remained kneeling on his neck for another several minutes. Passersby made videos of the incident with their cellphones, begged the officers to stop kneeling on Floyd - to no avail - and posted the videos to the social networks, and these recordings show Chauvin kneeling with his full body weight on Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes both before and after he lost consciousness. The videos went viral and have sparked days - and nights - of protests, rioting and looting in most major US cities, including Minneapolis. (Camera: JOHN G.

Well, I feel that if justice made, if they give him the years he really deserves, the police are going to think twice before taking violence against a community.2. Yes, I feel that for being in a community, generally, where white privilege exists, only because of my color I know that I am a target for the police where they are staring at me, because of the stereoptypes that they have unfortunately given us.
