Americans awoke Sunday to charred and glass-strewn streets in dozens of cities after another night of violent riots following death of a black man while in police custody.
Tens of thousands marched peacefully through streets on Saturday to protest the death of George Floyd, who died Monday after a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee on his neck until he stopped breathing. But many demonstrations sank into chaos as night fell: Cars and businesses were torched. The words “I can’t breathe” were spray-painted all over buildings. A fire in a trash bin burned near the gates of the White House.
