05.30.20 | 6:30 PM | Los Angeles, CA | Fairfax District -- An initially peaceful protest march Saturday, along Fairfax. in Los Angeles, was held to demand justice in the 5/25/20 murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti called for an 8 p.m. curfew to regain the peace, but looters and arsonists overran the protesters, rampaging far into the night on this fourth day of rage and grief and Covid-19 frustrations. The rioters wrought a heartbreaking path of devastation in their wake, leaving the Fairfax streets looking more like an apocalyptic movie scene than an otherwise lovely California spring night.

Janice Hahn, Los Angeles County Supervisor, summed up the situation eloquently, "We must stand in solidarity against the deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of law enforcement, but please don't destroy our Los Angeles. This is not a protest anymore."

Floyd, who was in police custody in Minneapolis on May 25, was suffocated by police officer Derek Chauvin while bystanders helplessly pled for his life. Three of Chauvin's fellow officers stood by, offering no intervention on Floyd's behalf. Numerous video footage of the atrocity was broadcast via internet outlets worldwide, causing a global outcry of rage and indignation.
