Protests continued Thursday in Washington, D.C., one month after the death of George Floyd on May 25 in Minneapolis police custody.
Throughout the country, protests and riots have broken out leading to the destruction of buildings, statues and other landmarks. Floyd died after a former Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes, video of his arrest showed.
