KEY FACTS

The protests quickly spread from Minneapolis to more than 140 U.S. cities and even internationally in just a matter of days.

Stand offs between police officers and protesters have turned violent, especially as night falls, with at least 12 protesters known to have died with hundreds injured.

All four police officers involved in the arrest of Floyd were arrested and charged by Wednesday, but protesters continue to march America’s streets to demand structural changes to end racial inequality.
