It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the statement of Bachelet.

“As I said earlier, violence, looting and destruction of property and everything in the neighborhood will not solve the problem of police brutality and discrimination. I again urge the protesters to express their demands for justice peacefully, and the police to exercise extreme caution, ”she said.

At the same time, Bachelet calls for an “independent, impartial and transparent investigation” of all actions of the authorities and protesters that led to deaths or injuries.

Earlier media reported that at least 9.3 thousand people were detained in the United States since the start of the protests caused by the death of African American George Floyd in Minneapolis after police actions.
