U.S. Attorney General William Barr stated on Saturday that far left extremists are disrupting the George Floyd peaceful protests.
“Groups of outside radicals and agitators are exploiting the situation to pursue their own separate and violent agenda,” he said. “In many places, it appears the violence is planned, organized and driven by anarchic and…far left extremist groups using Antifa-like tactics.”
Protests have erupted all over the country in cities—Minneapolis, Chicago, L.A., Houston, New York, Pensacola, and more, demanding Justice For Floyd. Also, as we reported, there have been numerous fires set to stores, including Target and Dollar Tree. Police precincts have also been burned down in Minneapolis.
As previously reported, Derek Chauvin has been arrested and charged for the death of George Floyd. This comes after nights of protests in Minneapolis. While some were peaceful, others did include looting and burning of 3 police precincts. At the moment, it’s unclear if the other officers will be charged for the death of George Floyd but they have been fired.
As you know, George Floyd died, during an arrest, on Monday. A 17-year-old filmed the incident and posted the video, in which it went viral.
