CLEVELAND, Ohio-Cleveland activists, led by Black Lives Matter Cleveland, will protest beginning at 1:30 pm on Sat, May 30 at the Free Stamp next to Cleveland City Hall for justice for Minneapolis police murder victim George Floyd, whom police killed on Monday via an unprecedented act of excessive force where the arresting White cop pinned him down and held his knee on his neck before a crowd as Floyd, for nearly 10 minutes, cried he could not breathe and begged for his life. (Editor note: The arresting former officer, Derek Chauvin, has since been charged with third degree murder and manslaughter charges and currently sits in jail).

The unarmed Floyd was pronounced dead an hour later at an area hospital, the knee pinning rendering him unconscious.

The disturbing video of the incident, taken by a bystander, has prompted protests in the city, and nationwide, and demands for criminal charges against the officers involved.

All four officers involved in the sordid killing, all of them White, were immediately fired.

Via a second night of protesting in Minneapolis, protesters began rioting with widespread looting and fires as crowds clashed with police who met them with tear gas and rubber bullets.

Multiple businesses were destroyed and the governor has called in the National Guard.

Floyd's family is now represented by famed Black lawyer Benjamin Crump, who, along with the family, want the cops prosecuted, and even the

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called on Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman to "act on the evidence before him and press charges on the arresting officer."

Joe Biden, the Democratic presumptive nominee who served as vice president under former president Barack Obama, condemned the celebrated incident as "a horrific killing."

Arrested on a forgery charge, Floyd, 46, was Black and his murder has resurrected anger in the Black community relative to Staten Island police murder victim Eric Garner, whom New York police choked to death in 2014, the same year Cleveland police gunned down 12-year-old Tamir Rice at a park and recreation center on the city's largely White west side.

The list is long on unarmed Black men and boys like Floyd, Garner and Rice dying illegally at the hands of privileged White cops who traditionally get away with no jail time, and usually with no prosecution whatsoever.

Arrested for allegedly selling loose cigarettes, Garner begged for his life before he died too, the impetus for the all so famous words "I Can't Breathe," which he too, like Floyd, cried out as he was being murdered by a White cop.

Garner's killer got fired five years after Garner was killed and Rice's killer was later fired but not for killing Rice, whom the White rookie cop killed in less than 2 seconds after arriving at the scene with his White partner.

They say that Rice's toy gun appeared real.

Black Lives Matter Cleveland states the following on its Facebook event page relative to the  May 29 protest on Saturday at the Free Stamp in Cleveland:

It's a constant reminder that Black lives don't matter in America when you are presumed to be a criminal.

Black people are never innocent until proven guilty, we are automatically tried, convicted and punished before even having our day in Court. Where is the due process for Black people? Why are we not afforded the same rights under the constitution as our white counterparts?

Black Lives Matter Cleveland is joining the call for justice,.We are sick and tired of asking for humanity. We are sick and tired of begging for our freedom. We are sick and tired of seeing Black bodies laying in the streets of America. We are sick and tired of video after video of our people being murdered, gunned down, stalked and hunted in the streets.
