A US flag burns during a protest near the White House in response to the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Photographer Mandy Bean (53), the former chief reporter of Allied Press’ Gore newspaper The Ensign, lives in Minneapolis. Concerns had been raised about other incidents involving police officers killing African-American men in the area in the past. "There are some really bad cops in Minneapolis," Bean said, although she she believed the city’s police chief, Medaria Arradondo, was a "decent man". "He said yesterday the next generation of officers are being trained differently when it comes to interacting with African-American men."
