Minneapolis cops in riot gear last night fired rubber bullets and tear gas at thousands of defiant protesters who took to the streets to demand justice for George Floyd, the black man who died after a white officer was filmed kneeling on his neck during his arrest.

Demonstrators carrying placards reading ‘I can’t breathe’ and ‘Justice 4 Floyd’ surrounded a police precinct Tuesday night after the disturbing video of 46-year-old Floyd begging the cop to stop before falling unconscious was shared online.

Four members of the Minneapolis Police Department who were involved in Monday’s incident have now been fired, and the FBI and state law enforcement authorities have launched an investigation into Floyd’s death.

The victim’s heartbroken family have called for the cops to be charged with murder and their lawyer revealed white cop Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for a staggering eight minutes during the arrest for forgery.

Floyd’s death has caused outrage across America with political figures and celebrities including Cardi B, P Diddy and Demi Lovato voicing their anger.

Floyd worked as a security guard at Conga Latin Bistro, a local bistro in Minneapolis. The bar’s owners have described him as a ‘very calm, nice guy’ who was not the type to be ‘aggressive’ or ‘disrespectful’.

The demonstrators demanded the arrest of the four officers and converged on a police station, but were met with rubber bullets and tear gas fired by masked cops as the city’s streets descended into chaos.

Some had their faces doused in milk to limit the effects of the gas while others ran for cover.

Prayers out to George and his family. The world has gone mad and this year is becoming one hell of a ride. Wow. Is this turning into a modern-day race war? How do you feel right now? What are we going to do? Someone said shoot back at the police. Someone said Looting is the answer. Someone said grab passports and get the fuck out of here. What is going through your head right now? You start dying when you stop dreaming.
