Protests across the country erupt as justice is demanded in the name of George Floyd
Central Florida saw several protests over the weekend, some of which turned violent.
Demonstrations are growing across the country as people demand justice in the name of George Floyd, who died last Monday after a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck, holding him down for several minutes.
That officer, Derek Chauvin, and three other officers involved in Floyd's death have been fired from the department.
Chauvin is in police custody, as he is charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
The other officers have yet to be charged.
