LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers in Minnesota earlier this year, set off a wave of racial unrest and street demonstrations across the country, including in Las Vegas. The police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is the latest flashpoint in what has been a hot and violent summer of racial unrest.
But it was the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police officers that ignited massive demonstrations and long-simmering anger about police use of force against minorities.
