Rapper Killer Mike has appealed for calm in Atlanta, Georgia.
Mike says he understands why people are doing it.
"For nine minutes, he died."
"Like a zebra in the clutches of a lion's jaw... and we watch it ...over and over again."
"That's why the children are burning to the ground."
"It's a responsibility of us to make this better. Right now."
Basketball star and Boston Celtics wing player Jaylen Brown has travelled to Atlanta to march.

Protests: State Governors Call In National Guard
Last night was another night of violence across the United States.
Governors in many cities have called in National Guard troops.
While President Donald Trump has claimed, without evidence, that the protests are 'professionally organised'.
Protestors were knocked to the ground by police cars in New York.
Meanwhile fires are still raging across Minneapolis.
"If you cannot stand up and fight the good fight and you want to be a cheater.... something is wrong with you."

This man explains why he broke curfew to protest:
"I want to make a change for my people because for too long this has been going on."
"Things need to change around... everywhere."
"Nothing's going to change if we keep talking or posting on social media."
