Minneapolis, Jun 4 (EFE/EPA).- Shouts and slogans against police brutality targeting African Americans once again on Thursday resounded through the streets in a number of major US cities, while in Minneapolis hundreds gathered to bid a tearful farewell to George Floyd, whose murder while in police custody last week sparked a nationwide wave of protests, riots and looting.Hundreds of people paid homage to George Floyd, an African American, at the North Central University amphitheater in the Minnesota capital, with Martin Luther King III, the oldest son of the civil rights leader killed in 1968, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson among the crowd.Also on hand for the service were Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, US Congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Sheila Jackson-Lee, Ayana Pressley and Joyce Beatty; along with rappers TI, Ludacris and Tyrese Gibson; comedians Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish; and actress Marsai Martin.Before Floyd's gold-colored casket, the Rev. Al Sharpton delivered an emotional eulogy in which he urged the black community to remove once and for all the "knee" that presses down on their neck and prevents them from prospering, a metaphor evoking the way in which Floyd lost his life on May 25.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.

Minneapolis, Jun 1 (EFE/EPA).- Thousands of people took to the streets of Minneapolis Monday for the seventh day to protest police brutality after the death last week of a black man arrested by white cops. 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.
