A Plane Carrying A "White Lives Matter" Banner Flew Over Etihad Stadium During City vs Burnley

A plane carrying a "White Lives Matter Burnley" banner was spotted above the Etihad stadium during Burnley's clash with Manchester City, sparking outrage amid ongoing protests and demonstrations against racial inequality.  Since the return to play, all Premier League players have worn "Black Lives Matter" across the back of their shirts, with the tribute following protests that began in the U.S. following the death of George Floyd. In the Premier League, shirts have also had a Black Lives Matter patch on their shirts in addition to a patch for the (NHS) to commemorate the organisation's work during the coronavirus outbreak.

Two Banks Completely Burned Down

Two banks were on Saturday burned to the ground in a suburb of San Diego, as violent unrest/protest continues to spread nationwide. Two other businesses were also destroyed and vandalised.  Peaceful protests over the killing of George  Floyd in Minneapolis turned into riots as night fell on La Mesa, a suburb of about 60,000 people east of San Diego, leaving a trail of destruction. They torched the Chase and Union banks next door to each other. Windows were smashed at many businesses, including a Goodwill store, a real-estate office and a popular bar. Daniel Buxton, the owner of Play It Again Sports, said he returned to his establishment to find “complete destruction.”
