Protesters in cities across the U.S. hit the streets for a 10th straight night Thursday just hours after George Floyd's family condemned the "pandemic of racism and discrimination" at a memorial service for the man who died while a police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
When the two-hour service was over and Floyd's coffin was wheeled out of the sanctuary at North Central University in Minneapolis, the thousand or so waiting outside broke into chants of "We can't breathe" and "No justice, no peace. Prosecute the police!
In New York City, the site of some of the biggest protests against police brutality, thousands gathered peacefully in the afternoon at Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn to remember Floyd. Later, dozens of protesters gathering at Washington Square Park in Manhattan while police watched warily from the periphery.
Hundreds more marched across the Brooklyn Bridge in a massive show of mourning for Floyd, 46, who died May 25 while in Minneapolis police custody.
