In the wake of the death of George Floyd, protests and looting dominated Thursday night in Minnesota while President Donald Trump threatened on Twitter to bring Minneapolis “under control,” calling the protesters “thugs” and tweeting a warning that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
The frustration of the recent murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd prompted a call for a protest in Detroit on Friday afternoon.
Thousands marched through the police headquarters parking lot to the streets around downtown Detroit, chanting “No justice, no peace” and calling for new leadership for the country. Police officers on bikes and in patrol cars blocked off streets to allow the marchers to pass through the streets.
