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.
