Protests in US Continue Amid Curfews, States of Emergency

VOA News

   Angry demonstrators carried their protests over the death of George
   Floyd into a sixth evening in cities across the United States Sunday,
   raising the prospect of renewed confrontations with police seeking to
   enforce overnight curfews.
   Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Detroit and Philadelphia are among the
   major cities that have imposed orders banning marchers from the streets
   after dark. The governors of Texas and Virginia have imposed states of
   emergency in their states.
   Fires, vandalism, looting and violence -- much of it aimed at police --
   have flared over the last five nights. The marchers, black and white,
   are showing their anger not just at what they say is harsh police
   treatment of black men and women, but at systemic racism in the United
   States.
   Police cars and government buildings were set on fire. Store windows
   were smashed. Monuments in parks were spray painted and vandalized.
