This video shows a very small portion of the full protest, definitely several thousand."<br /><br />George Floyd, 46, died after being detained by four Minneapolis police officers. <br /><br />Video of the incident shows a Minneapolis police officer kneeling on George Floyd's neck as he lay on the ground handcuffed.
