New York, May 29 (RHC)-- Across the United States, thousands of people took to the streets to protest the police killing of George Floyd.  In New York City, police arrested at least 70 people during a rolling protest that began in Manhattan’s Union Square.  

In Colorado, police fired tear gas and pepper balls at protesters who gathered at the state Capitol in Denver.  One protester was intentionally rammed by a driver who plowed their SUV into a crowd of demonstrators. 

In Arizona, police declared an “unlawful assembly” Thursday and fired tear gas and pepper spray at hundreds who gathered at Phoenix City Hall. 

In Louisville, Kentucky, hundreds of protesters gathered downtown demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old aspiring nurse who was shot to death by police inside her own apartment in March.  At least seven people were injured by gunfire that erupted as demonstrators surrounded a police vehicle.  It’s not known who fired the shots, though Louisville’s mayor claimed no police officers fired their weapons.
