Face Mask Portraits of NYC protest as hundreds descend on Foley Square over George Floyd's death in Minneapolis.
As outrage grows nationwide over the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, hundreds of protesters descended on Foley Square in New York City on Friday, May 29, 2020 chanting "I can't breathe" and “No justice, no peace!”
Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was pinned to the ground
by a white police officer who, video shows, put his knee
on Floyd's neck for at least eight minutes before he died.
His death has led to massive protests across Minneapolis and
the country, at times turning violent, with clashes between
law enforcement and protesters.
The protest was largely peaceful, but marked by verbal
confrontations between some protesters and police.
