The police department was responding to reports of looting at a T-Mobile on Saturday night when the incident occurred.

Journalist Matt McKnight recorded the confrontation and shared it to Twitter, showing the scene as multiple suspects were arrested outside of the vandalised store.

A man wearing an orange sweatshirt could be seen being tackled to the ground by multiple officers, as one placed their knee of his neck while restraining his arms.

Multiple protestors were heard in the video shouting “get off his neck!” as the man laid on the street, his head pressed into the ground. At one point, a second officer pulls the other officer’s knee from the man’s neck to his back, while continuing to restrain him.

Griffin Connolly writes: Donald Trump has accused militant left-wing, anti-fascist demonstrators commonly referred to as “Antifa” for several violent outbursts in US cities over the weekend as thousands of Americans took to the streets to protest police brutality in the wake of the alleged police killing of George Floyd, 46, of Minneapolis.

“Congratulations to our National Guard for the great job they did immediately upon arriving in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last night. The ANTIFA led anarchists, among others, were shut down quickly,” the president tweeted on Sunday, doubling down on his claim from the day before that “ANTIFA” and “the Radical Left” bear blame for protests turning violent.

Hundreds join London protest against George Floyd death

Here’s the latest on the British show of support for American demonstrators against police brutality.

DC graffiti: ‘Why do we have to keep telling you black lives matter?’

Like the coronavirus before it disproportionately picking off black and impoverished citizens, the George Floyd killing has again exposed the appallingly polarised nature of American society, where the gap between the haves and have-nots is more glaring than ever.

Graffiti like this seen in Washington today could hardly make that any clearer.

For clarity of message though, it’s hard to beat this crowd in Beverly HIlls, California.

Michigan sheriff joins protesters on peaceful march

Here’s an example of the sort of leadership America needs right now.

‘Come up with a better way, because how we’re doing it, it ain’t working’

This one really just needs to be seen and heard as widely as possible.

Of all the wanton acts of brutality we’ve seen from US law enforcement officers since this began, the following was one of the most pointlessly cruel and incomprehensible.

Chris Riotta has this report.
 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slams New York mayor for saying protesters should have ‘just gotten out of the way’ of police cruiser

Rory Sullivan has more on that shocking conduct by the NYPD we saw earlier, as the progressive Democratic representative demands answers from Bill de Blasio.

Here’s his report.

 

The killing of George Floyd has provoked outrage around the world, not just in the US.

Here’s Jane Dalton on a sympathy demonstrator in Trafalgar Square in London (another is underway in Manchester), which has seen people ignore lockdown restrictions to voice their disgust.

 

Uplifting moments from the George Floyd protests

While we’ve witnessed some deplorable acts over the last few days of unrest – from unprovoked police violence to arson and nihilistic looting – there have been plenty of positives.

Here’s Greg Evans of Indy100 to round-up some genuinely inspiring moments as people united to fight injustice.
 

Black Lives Matter protesters stop looters trashing Target in Brooklyn

This is a fascinating scene from last night, in which African American activists intervene to stop people breaking into a store in the New York borough to ensure their demonstration remains peaceful and its message is not hijacked by criminal opportunism.

This interview by Forbes reporter Andrew Solender with one of the men who intervened – who identifies himself only as David – is superbly clear-eyed and articulate.

He believes the group of agitators in question are really undercover cops.
 

I mentioned this briefly earlier but here’s Adam White with the full story on a wild night in the Windy City for the
High Fidelity star, who was documenting the Trump Tower protests on his bike until the cops spotted him (but failed to ask for an autograph).

 

DC mayor hits back at Trump over ‘vicious dogs’ tweets

Muriel Bowser has lashed out at the president over his gloating tweets yesterday, calling him a “scared man” hiding behind the White House fence. 

The city council and the Secret Service also backed her version of events over policing detail near the White House against claims made by Trump that he was left exposed:

Chicago protester ‘steals police horse’ and cheesecake looted in Seattle

Although I’m in no way condoning these actions, you have to take your levity where you can find it in these grave times and the sheer surreal force of these images merits a mention.

Joe Biden: ‘The act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest’

Here’s the latest on the alarming scenes across America from Trump’s Democratic challenger:

Social media flooded with footage of police brutality at nationwide protests against police brutality

I feel this one is fairly self-explanatory but, be warned, the following contain some distressing and graphic images.
