The agent who killed a young man in San Francisco on Monday in protests over George Floyd's death had mistaken his hammer for a gun. The police reported it. When a patrol intervened for a looting in a supermarket, Sean Monterrosa, a 22-year-old resident of the Californian city, had knelt on the ground holding his hands on his waist, near a hammer in his sweatshirt pocket. An agent, thinking it was a weapon, fired five shots and killed the young man. Now the policeman has been suspended pending the results of the investigation. George Floyd had covid-19 but was asymptomatic. It is one of the details that emerges from the official autopsy. At least 90 people were arrested tonight in New York in protests over the death of George Floyd. Local police said so, stating that the demonstrations were relatively calm and without looting. 280 demonstrators were arrested Tuesday night. All four former agents accused of the murder of George Floyd are now under arrest. Aleksander Kueng surrendered spontaneously, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao were taken to prison in the late afternoon, while Derek Chauvin had already been arrested. The Minnesota attorney general exacerbates the charge for Chauvin from manslaughter to voluntary homicide. Today Floyd's funeral, Biden will be present. Pentagon chief Mark Esper distances himself from Donald Trump on the use of the army against protesters.
