Dear audience,
It seems that the whole world is going through tough times in 2020. Right from the beginning of this year, unpleasant happenings have been taking place one after another. The entire world is struggling to contain the spread of the coronavirus epidemic. In America, a new unpleasant situation is unfolding.
It is often accused that American society, law enforcement agencies, governments, judiciary, etc, mistreat Black Americans. They are systematically marginalized by white people. Black Americans face discrimination in their day to day lives. It seems that the Black Vs White clash is at its best in America these days.
As per the reports in American Media, police reached the spot in Minneapolis after getting a call from the grocery store in As shown in the viral video, police officers manhandled a black youth who was accused of using a fake $20 note to pay bills. The police misbehavior led to the killing of that black youth who was declared dead by doctors when police rushed him to hospital. This news spread like fire across America, which invited harsh criticism from all sides. Different social media platforms were flooded with the messages critical of the police department.
Amid rapidly growing public discontent & anger, accused police officers were fired. The main accused was arrested and charged with 3rd-degree murder. His wife applied for divorce. This was insufficient to calm people's minds. The widespread protest erupted in different American cities, which led to the destruction of public properties, looting shops, setting different valuable things on fire, killing of protesters & police officers, etc. An angry mob attacked the police station where the accused was placed and set it on fire.
Soon, the protests & riots reached Washington DC, White House, prompting the law enforcement agencies to announce a lockdown in that area and firing tear gas to disperse the angry mob. The USA president Donald Trump warned rioters not to take the law into their hands & refrain from damaging public properties. He ordered the deployment of National Guards and Army to bring the situation under control. More details to follow!
