Beginning May 30, protestors marched the streets of Austin to voice their anger and frustration over the deaths of George Floyd and Michael Ramos.

Floyd was killed May 25 in police custody in Minneapolis. The four officers on the scene have been fired and charged with crimes, including a charge of second-degree murder for former officer Derek Chauvin, who knelt on Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.

On April 24, Michael Ramos was killed in Southeast Austin by police.

At least three demonstrators in Austin were seriously injured over the weekend, including a 20-year-old who remains in critical condition.

Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said 15 officers suffered minor injuries over the weekend.
