– Protests over Monday’s police shooting of a black man in Philadelphia turned violent late Tuesday night, with about 30 people arrested in Brooklyn after trash cans were set on fire and vehicles were damaged, NBC News reports. An NYPD spokesman tells Reuters that one officer suffered non-life-threatening injuries and that vehicles were damaged and some trash cans were set on fire. The New York Post reports that a car tried to drive through a group of police officials in Brooklyn. The development in New York City came after the deadly police shooting on Monday of Walter Wallace, 27, who was described by relatives as suffering from a mental breakdown as he was confronted by law enforcement. It follows months of anti-racism protests that have spread across the United States since the death in May of George Floyd, an African-American who died after a Minneapolis police official knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. The protests, which have sometimes turned violent, have aimed at achieving racial equality and opposing police brutality. Philadelphia became the latest flash point in the United States on issues of race and police use of force, as Tuesday’s rallies began peacefully but grew confrontational as darkness fell. A bystander’s video of the shooting of Wallace was posted on social media on Monday and showed him approaching two police officers who had drawn their guns and warned him to put down his knife. The officers were backing up before the camera cut briefly away as gunfire erupted and Wallace collapsed.
