The dissatisfaction of the population caused a fact that happened recently. Police killed 46-year-old local George Floyd last week. He was sitting in the car when officers found him suspicious. The man was taken out of the car and handcuffed.
He was lying on the asphalt. Residents say police used excessive force.
"I can't breathe," the detainee said.
He then lost consciousness and later died at the hospital.
One person was killed in riots in Minneapolis today.
The US Department of Justice gave special status to the death of African-American George Floyd in Minneapolis.
