Xavier Mascareñas/The Sacramento Bee; Musaqoi Young, of Sacramento, protests in front of City Hall on Monday, June 1, 2020, in Sacramento after days of heated demonstrations after the death of George Floyd, who was killed by police in Minneapolis on Memorial Day. Young, who said she’s been with Black Lives Matter for four days, said people need to unite to fight against corrupt police in Sacramento “because they’re killing us like we don’t matter, they treat us like we’re cattle,” she said, “we need to stop this.” The California National Guard was called in and citywide curfew implemented, while the looting by divergent groups and use of force from police that marked earlier days was largely absent.
