Riots after George Floyd's killing by police officer in Minneapolis intensifies • Police in Oakland shot dead by protesters, one killed • Minnesota governor "unable to stop violence" • Hundreds arrested in New York City • arson and looting in cities • Pentagon prepares to send troops To the focal points of the demonstrations

U.S. chaos intensifies after another day of rioting and violent rioting statewide. Minnesota State Requests Reinforcement of One Thousand National Guard, After Riots Killed by Minneapolis Police in Minneapolis Don't Relinquish. In California, a police officer is killed and another policeman is injured By gunfire, apparently by protesters, in Auckland.

The cries "I can't breathe," from the video that sparked America in which a police officer strangled to death a black man who was arrested, were heard in no less than 20 cities across the United States. The protest, which has rekindled racial controversy in the country, has taken thousands to the streets.

Guard troops are already deployed in Minnesota, but police and soldiers are unable to control the violence in the state center. "It's the largest civilian deployment in Minnesota history, and yet - we don't have enough people," state Governor Tim Wells told Fox News. "We are unable to arrest the people because of the vast area over which their riots and violent dynamics are spread."

Minneapolis police say shots were fired at police officers in Minneapolis after rioters torched the shopping complex at the scene. 

Meanwhile, at President Trump's request, the Pentagon has put U.S. military police on alert for possible rapid deployment in Minnesota. Soldiers in Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Drum in New York have been asked to be ready within four hours of the announcement, and Fort Carson in Colorado and Fort Riley in Kansas have been asked to be ready 24 hours.

"This is murder, what the hell is going on with us in the United States?"

The killing of George Floyd on Monday by a police officer, an incident in which four police officers were fired in Minneapolis on Tuesday and one of them, Derek Govin, was arrested and charged with murder yesterday (Friday) sparking protests and rioting across the United States, from New York to Washington, DC. Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the brutal killing of George Floyd is a welcome step, but late on the road to justice, "said Floyd's attorney, Ben Crump." "We expected him to be charged with first-degree murder, not third-degree murder. "We demand that the other police officers involved in the incident be arrested as well."

There were reports of fires, fires, looting and smashing of vehicles across the state. Reports of police shootings came from several cities, and in Oakland, California, one police officer was reportedly killed in the shooting, presumably by protesters. In San Jose, police fired a SUV that tried to run over protesters. In New York, fire rioters set fire to police and state police reported hundreds of arrests.

In Washington, the White House area was placed under curfew for several hours due to a violent demonstration on the scene. In Atlanta, a crowd stormed the entrance down the CNN news network and vandalized the network sign outside the building. 



Atlanta Mayor Keysha Lance Bottoms asked protesters Saturday to stop the violence and return home. "What I see going on the streets of Atlanta is not a protest. It's not in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr.. The demonstration has a purpose - it's just chaos."

Hundreds of protesters filled the streets in Louisville, where for the second night they protested not only against Floyd's death, but also against the death of Bruna Taylor, an emergency room worker killed by a police officer at his home on March 13.

Louisville Mayor Greg Fisher told reporters: "It was a very sad night for our city. There is no excuse for the property destruction we saw tonight. It's not a protest, it's violence."

Except for the police officer who was shot, so far another victim is known in the demonstrations: A 19-year-old was shot dead in a shooting on a group of protesters in Detroit. Detroit police have admitted it is unknown yet whether the young man who was shot took part in the rally, or was a bystander who was hit by a stray bullet. 



At the same time, another record of the incident was revealed from a new angle, showing three police officers kneeling on George Floyd's neck during his arrest. One was identified as Trooper Derek Chauvin.

Another night, following a protest that took place outside the White House in Washington, a curfew was announced on the spot for several hours, but all entrances and exits were opened instead of staff and the media. After the protesters left the area, protests continued on the Capitol Hill in the city. 

Meanwhile, the woman's wife, who was documented with a leg on the black man's neck, reportedly stormed and was charged with Floyd's murder yesterday, filed for a post-incident divorce proceeding. 

Demonstrations were also held in Los Angeles tonight. City police have declared illegal rallies in the downtown area, claiming that protesters will remain in the area despite instructions being arrested. At the same time, two police officers were reportedly injured as a result of throwing objects by the demonstrators.
