His death has sparked nationwide protests against police brutality and more than 75 cities have seen riot-like situations and 15 states had to activate the National guard. Small and big businesses were affected by the riots as the looters broke into the stores and were seen stealing goods.

Apart from this, the Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo announced that his department will be providing police escort when his body is arriving from Minnesota as a show of support.

It’s going to be a big deal for our city to bring him back home,” Art Acevedo told Don Lemon of CNN. “He’s well-known, he’s known by a lot of our officers.”

We want to make sure that the family is safe, that the movement is safe,” Acevedo said. “We want to make sure that the family knows that we’re here for them and we support them at this time.” (H/T – CNN.com)
