Thousands of people took to the streets of Minneapolis on Saturday as the protests against racism and police brutality following George Floyd’s death did not cease.
Congresswoman from Minnesota state where the violent killing took place, Ilhan Omar, made an appearance at the demonstration to address the locals.
