The late George Floyd's own family has begged rioters to stop, but the chaos continues in multiple cities across the country.
As riots in Las Vegas continue escalate, violence directed towards police officers has resulted in a cop being shot in the head. The man is now on life support.
After an LVMPD officer was shot in the head near Circus Circus the suspect has been arrested late last night.
The incident was captured during a live-stream from outside the Federal Courthouse.
“My Office has been notified that the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is currently working two separate incidents in Las Vegas. The State is in contact with local law enforcement and continues to monitor the situation,” tweeted Las Vegas Metropolitan Police and Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak.
“So scary. We need to get out of here … It sounds like a warzone,” says the cameraman as people run in the opposite direction.
Emergency responders are then attending to a man on the ground.
The officer is now on life support at UMC Hospital. According to sources, “the officer was in a fight with another suspect when someone walked up from behind and shot the officer in the head.”
The incident was by no means the only act of aggression against police officers.
Four officers were injured by gunfire in St. Louis near the police headquarters where cops clashed with rioters all night.
The officers were hit by gunfire after “using multiple flash-bangs and tear-gas rounds against a crowd near Olive and 16th streets.”
There were also at least three vehicle attacks against police officers.
Footage out the Bronx shows a cop flying up in the air as he is hit by a speeding vehicle.
Another video out of Buffalo shows a driver attempting to plough into police officers blocking a road.
Police officers surround a person that was shot near the 300 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard, on June 1, 2020, in downtown Las Vegas, at the end of a rally in response to the recent death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died while in police custody. - Thousands of National Guard troops patrolled major US cities after five consecutive nights of protests over racism and police brutality that boiled over into arson and looting, sending shock waves through the country. The death Monday of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, at the hands of police in Minneapolis ignited this latest wave of outrage in the US over law enforcement's repeated use of lethal force against African Americans -- this one like others before captured on cellphone video.
