The officer has been charged with homicide and remains in custody.

One bad cop should not lead to so much mayhem.

But it is good to see that other, less violent people are demonstrating against the killer cop.
France is having a George Floyd crisis. There were a few rioters here during that time, but the majority took out their anger in nation wide, non-violent demonstrations.
