New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Saturday called on the state’s attorney general to review the encounters between New York City police and more than 3,000 demonstrators in Brooklyn Friday night that led to more than 200 arrests.
The protests were in response to the death Monday of George Floyd, in which a now-former Minneapolis police officer stands accused of his murder. The confrontations led to objects, including Molotov cocktails, being hurled at police and public officials observing the demonstrations being doused with pepper spray by law enforcement.
