Violent protests erupted for a second night in Minneapolis on Wednesday over the police killing of George Floyd, a black man who was seen on video pleading for medical assistance on the ground as an officer placed a knee upon his neck while detaining him.

Photos and video from Wednesday night's demonstrations show businesses burning as looters struck some local stores, including a Target department store.
