Police officers and protesters started gathering Wednesday outside the police precinct over the death of George Floyd, after white cop Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for eight minutes before he died in custody (right). Flowers and photos were laid outside the Cups Food deli where the incident unfolded Monday to pay homage to the man who family members have said was ‘everyone’s favorite person’. Tuesday’s protest descended into chaos when cops hurled tear gas canisters into the crowds and demonstrators were seen desperately fleeing the hail of rubber bullets raining down on them.
