The unrest rippling through the United States is continued on Friday as demonstrations were ongoing in dozens of major cities throughout the nation in response to the death of George Floyd.

On Thursday, echoes of same themes of “Black Lives Matter” and “No Justice, No Peace” reverberated from coast to coast. Demonstrators closed highways, burned buildings, busted windows and clashed with police.
