How George Floyd murder affects US priorities

Second of two parts

George Floyd is not the first African American whose death in police custody sparked protests. But this time seems different, with the response more sustained and widespread. While there is no hard data on the ethnicity of protesters, many of the demonstrations appear to have a high proportion of supporters who are not African American themselves. For example, in Washington, DC, tens of thousands took to the streets on June 6 and about half the crowd appeared to be non-black.
