ANNAPOLIS, MD — Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Annapolis Tuesday to protest the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died while in police custody in Minneapolis last week.
Floyd died on Memorial Day following an encounter with Minneapolis police. Cell phone video of his arrest showed former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for several minutes as he pleaded for help, telling Chauvin and other officers he couldn’t breathe.
