Nation Braces for Another Day of Protests

Across the country, people are demonstrating against police brutality

Two Buffalo police officers were charged on Saturday after a widely circulated video appeared to show them shoving a 75-year-old protester, who fell and bled from the head as officers walked past him.

The news came as cities and towns across the United States face another outpouring of protests Saturday amid national outrage over law enforcement excess sparked by the death of George Floyd in police custody. Researchers say these protests, now in their 12th day, are the broadest in U.S. history, having spread to well over 650 cities and towns, across all 50 states.

Additionally, tens of thousands of protesters are expected in Washington, D.C. as an all-out rebuke of aggressive police tactics, racism and the Trump administration’s militant approach to days of unrest. Protesters in Australia, Britain, Japan and other countries marched in solidarity with Black Lives Matter demonstrators in the United States and against incidents of racism and police brutality at home.
