The New York Police Department told Newsweek more than 40 protesters were arrested, and several cops were injured on Thursday night.
Protests calling for justice for Floyd have spread across the nation this week. Floyd died shortly after being arrested by Minneapolis police on Monday and local protests began the following day. The demonstrations escalated and within days multiple protests had taken place in cities throughout the nation.
Around 1,000 protestors gathered in Los Angeles, California on Thursday, with some blocking traffic on the city's busy 101 Freeway. Similar protests were expected to take place in locations across the country throughout the night, including in Oakland, California and Denver, Colorado. "I spoke with George Floyd's family this morning and they would like to thank all of the protesters for joining them in standing for JUSTICE. They know we're all hurting," Crump said in a statement."They told me they want peace in Minneapolis, but they know that Black people want peace in their souls and that until we get #JusticeForFloyd there will be no peace."
