Protests in Washington continue in reaction to the death of George Floyd

WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 25: Protesters on June 25, 2020, gathered outside White House in Washington D.C., in support of the Black Lives Matter movement as the demonstrations continue in the United States. The protesters marched chanted slogans and held banners such as "No justice no peace BLM” Floyd's death has been a turning point for American public opinion on the need for police reform. Video captured by a bystander of his arrest showed a white Minneapolis, Minnesota police officer ignoring Floyd's pleas that he could not breathe while compressing his neck to the ground with his knee for nearly nine minutes. Floyd was handcuffed, and the officer appeared to hold the position even after his gasps stopped and he appeared to lose consciousness. Widespread calls have since developed for a major overhaul to policing in America, including mass demonstrations that have continued in cities across the country. Protesters have been calling for a wide-range of what they say are badly-needed reforms, including a national ban on chokeholds and no-knock search warrants, mandated body cameras, defunding or dissolving police departments, and an end to legal protections for police known as qualified immunity.(Footage by Yasin Ozturk /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
