Police in riot gear stormed a rally on sunday, removing hundreds of protesters

It should be noted that violent protests against the death of George Floyd have been going on in the United States for the last six days.

Clashes between police and protesters across the country escalated when the Trump administration declared protesters terrorists.

National guards were called to several cities to control the situation after the violent protests.

After Minnesota, the governor of the state of Georgia also declared a state of emergency in the city and called in the National Guard.

A further 500 troops were deployed to Minneapolis, the capital of Minnesota, and surrounding towns.

US President George W. Trump has expressed his condolences over the death of George Floyd and warned of "grave consequences" during the protests.

Authorities say a former police officer has been arrested in connection with the death of black George Floyd in police custody. County Prosecutor Mike Freeman says police are investigating Derek Chauhan.

Many years later, the United States has seen similar protests spread from Minnesota to New York and Los Angeles, according to AFP.
