US police violence to African-Americans triggered a wave of protests. In early July, police shot two black men dead. The killings outraged the society. Black Lives Matter protests took place in various cities of the United States.

During the protest in Dallas, Texas, five policemen were killed.

Anti-violence activists took to the streets in most US cities, including Dallas, New York, Atlanta, and Philadelphia.

The wave of protests started with killings in Minnesota and Louisiana. The policemen responsible for the shootings explained their conduct by saying the men aroused suspicions.
