Riots broke out in cities across the country as demonstrators protested the killing of George Floyd, an African-American male who died in Minneapolis after a white policeman held his knee against his neck for over eight minutes. The officer, Derek Chauvin, was charged Friday with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
