CNN Vandalized During Black Lives Matter Rally in Atlanta

A CNN sign outside the news station’s building was vandalized on May 29 during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Centennial Olympic Park, Atlanta, Georgia. Footage shows protesters mounting the graffiti-clad sign, holding placards that read “black lynching must go” and “justice for all, black lives matter”. Other footage shared on social media showed protesters hurling objects at the building. A swathe of protests were held in major cities around the United States following the police-involved death of black man George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on May 25. Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was seen pinning Floyd to the ground amid his cries of “I can’t breathe,” was arrested on third-degree murder and manslaughter charges on Friday, May 29.
