Protests have flared up across the United States after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis this week.

The handcuffed black man died after a white police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes.

Video of the arrest, which has gone viral, shows Mr Floyd begging for air and saying, "please, I can't breathe" and "don't kill me".

Criminal charges were filed on Friday against white police officer Derek Chauvin, 44.

He has been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
