Scenes from 8th night of Portland protests against George Floyd killing

Protesters united against police brutality for the eighth consecutive night in Portland. Thursday’s protests followed memorials in Minnesota and New York City for George Floyd, a black man whose killing by police in Minneapolis set off protests nationwide. Floyd died May 25 after he was restrained for nearly nine minutes by a white officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck. In Portland, Thursday night’s demonstrations brought out thousands of people, including Trail Blazers star point guard Damian Lillard. As marchers made their way over the Morrison Bridge, Lillard stood near the front. The crowd linked arms and chanted, “I can’t breathe." For the second straight night, demonstrators filled Tom McCall Waterfront Park. An organizer called for non-violent resistance and cheered the decision to stop assigning police officers to work in Portland schools.
