June 06, 2020 14:32 IST

Uttam Ghosh offers his take on the wave of protests that have swept across America and President Trump's bizarre reponses after George Floyd, an African American died in Minneapolis on May 25 after a white police officer pinned him to the ground.

Video footage showed the officer kneeling on Floyd's neck as he gasped for breath.

His death has triggered nationwide protests across the US cities.

Officer Derek Chauvin has been fired, and has been arrested and charged with murder and manslaughter.
