Thousands took to the streets in downtown Chicago Saturday to protest the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a police officer knelt on his neck in Minneapolis. Peaceful Chicago protests escalated in some cases, with protesters breaking storefront windows on Michigan Avenue, setting fires and damaging cars.
