(Michigan City, IN) - Michigan City is where one of the many nationwide protests occurred last night over the police officer killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

In Michigan City, protesters gathered behind the police station and later walked down Michigan Boulevard then over to the area of Lighthouse Premium Outlets Mall.  They chanted “I can’t breathe,” the words Floyd uttered on a video recording as he begged the officer to remove his knee from his neck.

There are reports of damaged windows at the mall and bottles tossed at police. There were also reports of police using tear gas in Merrillville where a stretch of U.S 30 was closed because of the demonstrators.
