Protests Against Police Violence Raise Stakes — and Bridges

A weekend of charged protests, in photos.

Nationwide protests expanded to Chicago on Friday, May 29 as protesters drove, marched, honked and chanted “No Justice, No Peace” in response to a recent wave of murders of black citizens at the hands of U.S. police officers, including George Floyd of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Breonna Taylor of Louisville, Kentucky. While police responded with force over the weekend of May 30, some protesters turned to looting, but countless others maintained demonstrations of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
