In response to the tragic death of George Floyd last week, thousands of people across the United States have taken to the streets to protest against police brutality and systematic racism.
While the majority of the protests have been peaceful, some unfortunately turned violent. That was evident in Los Angeles last Saturday, prompting Mayor Eric Garcetti to issue a curfew and California Gov. Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency.
The rioting led to clashes with police, vandalism and the destruction of local businesses. And while these acts have continued in recent days, murals of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, and his daughter, Gianna, were left untouched.
