Rev. Jesse Jackson calls for nationwide protests
"The protests must continue, but around the country ... protest until something happens," the Rev. Jesse Jackson said in a visit to Minneapolis, where he called for murder charges over Floyd's death. He said protests should respect social distancing protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The Rev. Al Sharpton and Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner who was killed by an NYPD officer, also came to Minneapolis to speak to protesters.
Protesters should continue to take action until charges are announced, Jackson said. He said black people have been "brutalized without consequence" for decades.
