The United States has seen several waves of violent protests in the last two days after an African-American was killed after a run-in with the police.
A video that has sparked outrage across America showed a white police officer kneeling on the neck of George Floyd who was confirmed dead moments later.
Following the uproar, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was arrested and charged with third degree murder and manslaughter.
Alex Ndiritu, the Nyeri guy calling for burning of White House, may have been inspired by the speech of this young lady. She sounds authoritative, confident and defiant. If she happened to be Kenyan, Uhuru Kenyatta & Ruto’s regimes would be down due to GRAFT! #RutoWasBought3B pic.twitter.com/gLwUbVO5cq
