Rubber bullets, chemical irritant, water bottles in air as thousands march to protest George Floyd's death

Community anger over the death of George Floyd boiled over Tuesday night in Minneapolis, as protesters and officers clashed, lobbing projectiles and tear gas.

Floyd died Monday at HCMC after an officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes, ignoring Floyd's protests that he couldn't breathe. The scene was caught on video and posted online, quickly becoming a national sensation.

Tuesday evening, thousands of people, many of them wearing masks, marched peacefully from the site - outside Cup Foods on Chicago Avenue - to the Police Department's Third Precinct, where tensions quickly escalated.
