"There are hundreds of cases of death not captured on video, But I think the abomination, and the obvious hatred of the video aroused in The People " Sarina LeCroy, a protester from Maryland, told The Bbc .

Similarly, Wengfay Ho Said , you have always The Black Lives Matter supported The Movement , But George Floyd's death was a "catalyst" that prompted to take to The Streets for the First Time .

"He asked, much More feeling, and The Call for Change is so much More urgent right now".

"it Changes the story when she argues to an unexpected convergence of forces", Mr Roberts.

Mr. Floyd's death came in The Middle of the Corona-Virus pandemic has led Americans to remain ordered in their homes, and caused the highest unemployment since The Great Depression in The 1930S .

"you have a situation where the entire country is on lockdown, and More of The People in the television. More and More people are forced to pay attention - you are less able to Look Away , less distracted. "

The pandemic has already changed The Way We Live and work, and too Many Americans led to home, "wondering what the parts are normal, not acceptable," he added.

And on a practical level, that means the 13% unemployment rate, More and More people to protest as usual and the campaign, without juggling with work commitments.

Mr Floyd's death came shortly after the death of Ahmaud Arbery and BREO Anna Taylor.

Mr Arbery, 25, was shot dead on 23 February, while Jogging, in Georgia, according to residents, he resembled suspect a break-in. BREO Anna Taylor, 26, was a health worker who was shot eight times when The Police entered their apartment in Kentucky.

Mr Roberts described Mr. Floyd's death as "The Last straw for Many of the municipalities", and added that the fact that this happened in the summer, when people want to go outside, is also important.

The fact that in this year of elections also means that politicians tend to respond, He Said .

While There are no hard data on the ethnicity of the demonstrators, Many appear to be of the demonstrations that have a high percentage of Fans who are not African-American Themselves .

For example, in Washington Dc , went to tens of thousands on The Streets on Saturday and to be about half of The Crowd seemed, not black. Many of the protesters brought posters that highlighted, specifically their desire for allies to The Movement .

part of this could relate to a shift in the Opinion

it is proposed that 74 percent of Americans felt that The Killing of Mr. Floyd, was part of a larger problem in The Treatment of African Americans by The Police .

This Was a sharp increase from a similar survey in the year 2014, after the death of Michael Brown and Eric Garner - where 43 percent of Americans feel that these incidents are the General problems reflected, ABC reported.

During The Black Lives Matter movement "has always been multi-racial. white people in the USA have not really Said a vocabulary to talk about race", Mr Roberts.

"It is uncomfortable, and you think that a conversation about Racism is an attack on their existence, or have the feeling that you have no license to offend if you are someone. "

However, He Said , he now looks More white allies speak and "feel More comfortable with the uncomfortable".

in addition to the major demonstrations in the major cities, it has also been described locally As One of the "Most racist places" in Illinois, the once notorious as a stronghold of the Ku Klux Klan white supremacist group.

the fact that The circumstances around Mr. Floyd's death seemed particularly clear-cut may also be made, associations made it easier for The People .

In an Opinion piece with the title "" Journalist Judy Muller Said she was "totally gobsmacked" to about 40 people to a vigil in Norwood, Colorado.

The night's watch, the organizers Said , "support for The Police , and Black Lives matter are exclusive", while a local board of Trustees, the Republicans, Candy Meehan, Said : "I do not think that this is a political matter... it is Wrong Wrong . "

Black-and-activists welcomed the extended support.

Eric Wood , a DC resident, Said he joined demonstrations after Trayvon Martin 's death in 2012, and BREO Anna Taylor ' s death at the beginning of this year, But the current wave of protests, the largest were "likely".

"African-Americans and minorities to protest this [Racism ] for years. Our votes do not hold as much energy As If we have some of our white colleagues, to help us. "

Meanwhile, Mr Roberts argues: "the history was clear that The People who must Change before The Dam breaks, are people, are the beneficiaries of the existing Systems . "

The vast majority of protests in the US were Peaceful - and in some cases, local police officers also showed their support.

However, There were some high-profile confrontations and clashes between demonstrators and The Police .

last week, authorities forcibly removed Peaceful protestors from the square in front of the White house. Shortly after President Donald Trump crossed the road on his photo in front of a Church.

"this is the First Time in My Life , I'm afraid of The Police ," Said Mr. Longwell Said .

Meanwhile, Ms Summers Said she had not planned to be There - But "when I Heard how violent The Police were always... it seemed like a thing I had to do".
