Nationwide protests over the killing of George Floyd — the Black man who died Monday after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck — continued Friday evening as Americans demanded that those involved face justice. After three nights of protests, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey announced a mandatory curfew going into effect at 8 p.m. Police in several cities, including Boston and Fort Wayne, Indiana, reportedly fired tear gas to disperse protesters. In Atlanta, police also reportedly used tear gas on protesters outside CNN headquarters, where police were barricaded in the entry after some demonstrators shattered glass walls. The targets quickly fled on foot and were brought to a hospital, where one was pronounced dead, according to The Detroit News.
