PHOTOS: Protests erupted in New York City as police clashed with demonstrators over the killing of George Floyd

Jack Crosbie Protests erupted in Brooklyn Friday night over the killing of George Floyd, who died when a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck on Monday. The officer, Derek Chauvin, was later arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. Photos taken by Business Insider show police clashing with protesters, using pepper spray and batons to control the crowd. New York State Senator Zellnor Myrie and State Assemblywoman Diane Richardson were both pepper-sprayed, and graphic videos show an officer violently shoving a female protester to the ground. An NYPD van was also set ablaze.
