Protesters clash with police in New York

Demonstrators took to New York City streets on Friday for a second day in protest at the death of George Floyd, the black Minnesota man killed in police custody, and invoked the names of other black people who died at police hands.

In Brooklyn, crowds of demonstrators chanted at police officers lined up outside the Barclays Center. There were several moments of struggle, as some in the crowd pushed against metal barricades and police pushed back.

Protesters lit fire to a sign outside the arena, forcing police to advance and put out the flames.

Scores of water bottles and fireworks flew from the crowd toward the officers, and in return police sprayed an eye-irritating chemical at the group multiple times.

The names of black people killed by police, including Floyd and Eric Garner, who died on Staten Island in 2014, were on signs carried by those in the crowd, and in their chants. Protests have taken place around the country, with some in Minnesota and elsewhere becoming violent.
