Violent protest over killing of a black man in the US (Videos)

Hundreds of residents in Minnesota took to the streets on Tuesday to register their outrage and demand justice over the killing of a black man, George Floyd, on Monday evening.

According to reports, the deceased attempted to use counterfeit money to make purchases at a store.

Some officers located the suspect sitting on top of a blue car and appearing to be drunk.

After being ordered to step away from the vehicle, the man physically resisted officers, according to police.

Officers were able to get him into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress.

In the 10-minute video filmed by a witness, the man is kept on the ground by one officer and, at one point, says: “Don’t kill me” and “I can’t breathe.”

Witnesses pleaded with the officer to take his knee off the man’s neck, noting that he was not moving. One says, “His nose is bleeding”, while another pleads, “Get off his neck.”

The man then appears motionless before he is put on a stretcher and into an ambulance.

Four Minnesota police officers have been fired after the death of the black man.
