Violent protests erupted for the second night in Minneapolis on Wednesday over the police killing of George Floyd, a black man who was seen on video being arrested by four police officers shortly before his death.

Video taken of Floyd's arrest show the man pleading for medical assistance on the ground as one officer places his knee upon Floyd's neck while detaining him for several minutes. Subsequent reports have indicated that Floyd was unarmed and under investigation for using counterfeit money at a corner store.

Photos and video from Wednesday night's demonstrations show businesses burning as looters struck some local stores including a Target department store.
