Hundreds of protesters took to New York City’s streets Friday night to demonstrate against police brutality in the wake of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis, after at least 70 people were arrested in a similar rally Thursday.

Footage from the scene showed at least four people being led from the 88th Precinct in a handcuffed chain, as officers formed a perimeter around the entrance to protect it. The NYPD confirmed at least 50 arrests Friday, and multiple cops were believed to have been injured.

Though they started relatively calmly, as night fell the protests escalated dramatically -- particularly in Brooklyn, where videos showed police vehicles burning and officers physically clashing with protesters. Hours after holding a news conference to call for peaceful demonstration, Mayor Bill de Blasio acknowledged the situation was anything but.

But in a twist, after social media posts showed the police commandeering an MTA bus to transport protesters and the driver resisting, the Transport Workers Union tweeted that its members should refuse to drive the arrested.

CNN's Paul Vercammen describes the scene as protesters and police clash in Los Angeles. Protests have erupted in at least 30 US cities over the death of unarmed black man George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

05.30.2020 | 6:00 PM | LOS ANGELES - Protests turned into riots with officers being attacked and cars being lit ablaze along with rampant looting, Saturday evening.

Protests got unruly and turned into riots with officers being attacked and cars being set on fire in downtown near the intersection of Imperial and Normandie around 6:00 PM.

Officers from throughout the city and county responded to help push back the thousands of protesters who were pelting officers with rocks and bottles and settings vehicles on fire.

Multiple patrol vehicles were destroyed and fires continued to erupt as the night progressed.

As the riots continued individuals could be seen looting businesses and fleeing with merchandise.

Dozens, possibly hundreds, of arrests were made during unrest that continued into Sunday morning.

The National Guard is responding and a citywide curfew is in place while authorities attempt quell the unrest.

Protests began peacefully Saturday afternoon but took a turn after protesters clashed with police. Civil unrest became chaotic across Dallas and the U.S. that night.

America honored George Floyd Thursday as a memorial service for the father killed in police custody took place in Minneapolis. The memorial service, which was held at North Central University, was not open to the public but was live-streamed by several broadcast networks. Rev. Al Sharpton gave the eulogy at the service. Black entertainment icons Kevin Hart, Tyler Perry, and Tiffany Haddish were among the celebrities at the emotional service. In New York, Floyd’s brother spoke to thousands.
