Los Angeles erupted in violence Saturday as protests over the death of George Floyd spiraled out of control in cities across the nation.
Outrage over the death of black man Floyd - who was killed when a white cop knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes during his arrest Monday - is ramping up across the nation, with protests springing up in multiple states.
Violent scenes played out in Chicago where police officers were seen being dragged along the floor by demonstrators and other protesters had to step in and save them from attack.
This came after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced they are launching separate investigations into the violent protests in Brooklyn on Friday where over 200 people were arrested and footage on social media showed cops violently handling protesters.
Minnesota - where Floyd died - has born the brunt of the protests which began there Tuesday before fanning out across the country.
Mostly peaceful daytime protests over the death of George Floyd continued across the country on Saturday before many turned violent into the afternoon and evening.
On Friday night, Minneapolis saw its worst night of arson, looting and vandalism yet, as protests in more than 30 cities spilled over into violence and clashes with police.
