Across the country, people have been protesting against police brutality, specifically against the black community.
On May 25, 46-year old George Floyd, an African-American man died in police custody after a police officer, Derek Chauvin, knelt on his neck for at least eight minutes. His death has sparked a series of protests across the US.
Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder by a Minnesota court.
