Protesters clash with Minneapolis police after George Floyd death: Here's what we know

乔治·弗洛伊德死后抗议者与明尼阿波利斯警方发生冲突：这是我们所了解到的

Thousands of protesters demanding justice for 46-year-old George Floyd, a black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck, gathered at the intersection where Floyd was restrained and marched to a city police precinct before clashing with officers late Tuesday.

数千名抗议者要求为46岁的黑人乔治·弗洛伊德伸张正义。在明尼阿波利斯，一名白人警察跪在弗洛伊德的脖子上，导致他不久后死亡。这些抗议者们聚集在弗洛伊德被控制住的那个十字路口，游行至市警察局，然后在周二晚些时候与警察发生了冲突。

The horrifying video spread quickly on social media earlier in the day, showing the officer driving his knee into the Floyd's neck as the man repeatedly says he can't breathe.

当天早些时候，这段可怕的视频在社交媒体上迅速传播，视频显示，这名警官将膝盖压到了弗洛伊德的脖子上，而当时弗洛伊德反复说明他呼吸困难。

Four officers involved in the Monday incident have been fired, and Floyd's family and their attorney, Ben Crump, have called for their arrests. Police have not identified the officers, but attorney Tom Kelly said he was representing Derek Chauvin, the officer seen with his knee on Floyd's neck.

四名参与这起星期一事件的警官被解雇，弗洛伊德的家人和他们的律师本·克拉姆普要求逮捕他们。警方尚未确认这些警察的身份，但律师汤姆·凯利说，他是德里克·乔文的代理人，正是那名将膝盖压在弗洛伊德的脖子上的警官。

"Being Black in America should not be a death sentence," Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey wrote in a social media post. The case echoes the death of Eric Garner, another black man who died in New York while a white officer restrained him, ignoring pleas of "I can't breathe."

明尼阿波利斯市长雅各布·弗雷在一篇社交媒体文章中写道：“在美国，是黑人并不应该被判“死刑”。这起案件与另一名黑人埃里克·加纳的死如出一辙，后者死于纽约，当时一名白人军官拘捕了他，并且无视了“我不能呼吸”的请求。

Here's what we know Wednesday:

这是我们截止到周三所了解到的：

Chants of "I can't breathe" filled Minneapolis' streets Tuesday night as a crowd of protesters gathered near the intersection where Floyd died. The group marched 2½ miles to a police precinct.

周二晚上，当一群抗议者聚集在弗洛伊德死亡的十字路口附近时，明尼阿波利斯的街道上响起了“我不能呼吸”的口号。这群人游行了2.5英里来到一个警察局。

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported the protest began peacefully but escalated in tension as the demonstrates reached the building.

Some protesters damaged windows and a police squad car while others sprayed painted graffiti.

Officers in riot gear fired tear gas and projectiles at the crowd who threw back water bottles and rocks, the Star Tribune reported.

明尼阿波利斯《星报》报道说，抗议活动以和平的方式开始，但随着该活动抵达大楼，紧张局势不断升级。

一些抗议者毁坏了窗户和一辆警车，另一些人则喷了油漆进行涂鸦。

据《星论坛报》报道，身穿防暴服的警察向人群发射催泪瓦斯和炮弹，人群将水瓶和石块投回去抵抗。

Bridgett Floyd, George Floyd's sister, told NBC's "Today" show that the four officers in the video should be charged with murder.

乔治·弗洛伊德的妹妹布里奇特·弗洛伊德在美国全国广播公司的“今日”节目中说，视频中的四名警官应该被指控谋杀罪名。

"I would like for those officers to be charged with murder because that’s exactly what they did. They murdered my brother; he was crying for help," Floyd said Wednesday.

Floyd added that she had faith that the officers would be charged but said their firing wasn't enough.

“我希望那些警官被指控谋杀罪名，因为这就是他们所做的事。他们谋杀了我的哥哥，无视了他的呼救，”弗洛伊德周三说。

她补充说，她相信这些警察们会受到指控的，仅仅解雇他们根本不够。
