A total of 40 people have been detained during a demonstration in Union Square in Manhattan, the New York Police Department said, as quoted by local media. Protesters marched down to City Hall, chanting slogans against police violence including: “No justice, no peace” and "I can't breathe" - Floyd's words he said to a police officer while pinned to the ground with the cop's knee on his neck.
