George Floyd Murder Sparks Nationwide BLM Protests
Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kills George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for over 9 minutes. Nationwide protests erupt — the largest wave of civil unrest since 1968. Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act, tweets 'when the looting starts, the shooting starts,' and calls for governors to 'dominate' protesters. Statues of Confederate leaders and others are removed across the country.
