Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) issued a state of emergency and activated 500 National Guard troops "to protect people & property in Atlanta" at the request of Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D). The mayor had issued an earlier appeal for calm in the city, though violent demonstrations continued, including outside CNN's headquarters in the city, which was vandalized.
The College Football Hall of Fame near CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia was significantly damaged during protests downtown Friday.
Authorities had announced earlier in the day Friday that one of the officers involved in George Floyd's arrest, Derek Chauvin, would be charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. Chauvin was seen on video kneeling on Floyd's neck for about eight minutes as he was heard saying "I can't breathe" before he eventually died.

The death of George Floyd, a black man who died on Memorial Day after he was pinned down by a white Minnesota police officer, has sparked outrage and protests in Minneapolis and across the United States.
Second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter charges have been filed against Derek Chauvin, the officer who prosecutors say held his knee on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes. Three other officers have also been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting manslaughter. READ MORE: https://abcn.ws/374kP5x

6.4.20| 7:40 PM PDT | Los Angeles, CA | City Hall
An infectious atmosphere of empowerment and insistent resolve accompanied Los Angeles protesters as they entered their ninth day of marching and parading, seeking justice for the 5.25.2020 Minneapolis murder of George Floyd, who will be laid to rest next week in Pearland, Texas. In this past week protesters have coalesced around pursuing matters of local peace and justice inequities as well, especially as videos of LAPD's abusive treatment of university students went viral on social media.
It looks like the United Nations on the streets of Hollywood and L.A. these days - all ethnicities, a diverse crowd, all peeking out from Covid-19 confinement, and all uniting for one cause: freedom. No police dogs, no fire hoses, no tear gas nor potentially fatal weapons. No steel-toed boots or murderous glares or abuses of power. No one condones looting or arson, and nobody condones police officers not holding their unjust/abusive members accountable.
After marching to City Hall, across from LAPD Headquarters, a crowd of protesters - estimated to be more than 1,000 - continued to call attention to the need to end local police brutality. People were surprised and a bit skeptical to discover that their raucous demands suddenly seemed to be bearing fruit. First Mayor Eric Garcetti abruptly ended the curfew. Then LAPD Chief Michel Moore came out of the headquarters and apologized to the protesters; standing in front of them, he 'took a knee' to acknowledge his remorse and his unity with them. And he pledged to revise training goals and methods used in teaching police officers how best to interact with the public. He later repeated the knee gesture a second time before leaving the rally.
L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti acknowledged that video evidence confirms recent reports of police officers abusing power in their contact with the George Floyd /Black Lives Matter protesters, using police batons, rubber bullets, and drive-by pepper spray bombs. $250 million dollars of "redirected priorities" will be used in the L.A. budget to immediately invest in Social Service program improvements, with social reforms developed in order to need fewer police interventions; $150 million will come out of the LAPD budget to help attain that goal, and an additional $100 million will be drawn from the budgets of other departments.
From City Hall, the protesters returned to Hollywood - back to Sunset & Vine - chanting emphatically all the way. And betting on the departure date for their new buddies, the National Guard, with bets also laid on if/when Covid-19 could creep back into a larger area of their concern.
