This is a list of protests and unrest in the United States related to the murder of George Floyd. The protests began in Minneapolis on May 26, 2020, the day after George Floyd, an African-American man, was murdered by Derek Chauvin during a police arrest. On June 6, an estimated half a million people joined protests in 550 places across the country.[1] Protests continued through the weekend of June 19, overlapping with and bringing awareness to observations of Juneteenth.[2][3] Protests had continued throughout the entire month of June in many cities, with protests occurring in over 40% of counties in the United States.[1] Polls estimate between 15 million and 26 million people participated in the United States, making these protests potentially the largest movement in terms of participation in U.S. history.[1] The riots cause an estimated $1-2 billion in claimed insurance damages nationwide. [4]

The protests spread to over 2,000 cities and towns in all 50 states[5] and all 5 permanently-inhabited territories,[6][7][8][9][10] as well as in over 60 other countries, with demonstrators supporting those seeking justice for Floyd and the wider Black Lives Matter movement, and speaking out against police brutality. Many protests were accompanied by violence with some large cities seeing large scale rioting, looting, and burning of businesses and police cars.[11][12][13] There were also many instances of police brutality.[14] The wave of protests and unrest has been compared to the long, hot summer of 1967 and the King assassination riots, both of which saw riots in over 10 cities across the United States.[15]

Outside the United States, protests against the murder of George Floyd, racism, and police brutality also took place, notably in the cities of Accra, Athens, Auckland, Barcelona, Berlin, Brisbane, Cape Town, Copenhagen, Dublin, Lagos, Madrid, Melbourne, Nairobi, Paris, Perth, Rio de Janeiro, Seoul, Sydney, Tel Aviv, Tokyo, and Vienna, as well as in the countries of Canada and the United Kingdom. Protests occurred in over 60 countries and on all continents, including Antarctica.[16][better source needed][a]

The protests resulted in police reforms being proposed on the federal level in the United States and in jurisdictions in over 20 states. The protests were also associated with the removal of numerous monuments and statues of figures with controversial legacies. In response, the Trump administration deployed federal law enforcement to several cities across the country.

Protesters in Washington, D.C. gathered around the White House the evening of May 29, which went under lockdown. President Trump was escorted to hide in an underground bunker, where he stayed for almost an hour. Outside, the historic St. John's Church was set on fire.[32] Trump reacted by threatening protesters with "the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons" if they crossed the White House fence.[33] Rubber bullets, pepper spray, smoke canisters, and stun grenades were used on the protesters.[34]

On May 30 and 31 there was looting and vandalism with several monuments being defaced.[35][36] On June 1, tear gas and rubber bullets were used to forcefully clear protesters from Lafayette Square so that President Trump could have his picture taken at St. John's, which had survived the fire.[37] Police said the protesters were throwing bricks and other projectiles, although journalists at the scene said the protesters were peaceful.[38] In addition, millions fell for a hoax claiming that communication channels had been severed in the area.[39]

On June 22, a crowd of rioters unsuccessfully attempted to topple Clark Mills' 1852 bronze equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson in Lafayette Square in President's Park, directly north of the White House.[43] A few days later, the United States Department of Justice charged four men with destruction of federal property for allegedly trying to bring down the statue. The Justice Department alleged that a video showed one of the men breaking off and destroying the wheels of the cannons located at the base of the statue as well as pulling on ropes trying to bring down the statue.[44]

Fewer arrests were made since the curfew was implemented, apart from forceful policing of even peaceful protests after 8:00.
