China News Service, June 4 (Xinhua) According to US media reports, recently, thousands of demonstrators blocked a bridge in the city center in Portland, Ohio. They lie on the ground with their hands behind their backs, maintaining this posture for 9 minutes, in order to pay tribute to Freud, a black man who died from violent law enforcement by the American police.
According to reports, after Freud was killed by violent law enforcement in Minneapolis on May 25, demonstrations and protests across the United States have continued for more than a week. On June 2, the demonstrators in Portland came to the Burnside Bridge and lay on the bridge in the same posture as Freud died, staying there for nearly 9 minutes to mourn Freud.
According to previous reports, according to surveillance video, police officer Xiao Wan and at least two other police officers knelt on Freud, and Xiao Wan resisted his neck for nearly 9 minutes.
At present, all four police officers related to Freud's death have been detained. Among them, the accusation against Xiao Wan has been upgraded from a third-level murder to a second-level murder. The other three were charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder.
