MINNEAPOLIS — Protesters in Philadelphia stood on the steps of an art museum and demanded cuts to the city’s police budget. A crowd gathered outside the Minnesota governor’s mansion stood silently to hear stories from victims of police abuse. At a huge rally in Washington, demonstrators filled the streets, and speakers cried out to ensure that a death like that of George Floyd under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer never happen again. Protesters vowed to keep up the momentum toward overhauling what they said was a broken law enforcement system plagued by racial injustice. And in Denver, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order on Friday to restrict the use by the police of rubber bullets and tear gas on protesters.
