Protesters in Los Angeles temporarily blocked Highway 101 and clung to a California Highway Patrol cruiser during a downtown demonstration Wednesday over the death of George Floyd.
Floyd, 46, died Monday night in Minneapolis, with video later showing him on the ground with a police officer's knee pressed against his neck.
“I can't breathe” and “Don’t kill me,” Floyd shouts in the video, which has sparked outrage across the U.S. and led to the firings of four Mineapolis police officers. Protests continuing in Minnesota on Wednesday erupted into violence and looting.
President Trump on Wednesday ordered the FBI and Justice Department to investigate the case.
