George Floyd, a black man, died May 25 after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck while Floyd was handcuffed and saying that he couldn’t breathe. His death sparked protests in Minneapolis and around the country, some of which became violent.

Protests occurred in Columbus, where protesters caused damage at the statehouse. In Cleveland, peaceful protests turned violent over the weekend, and a curfew is in effect through 8 p.m. Tuesday.
