Protesters hold hands as they protest on the fourth day on the fourth day following Rayshard Brooks' shooting death by police in a Wendy's restaurant parking lot, June 16, 2020, in Atlanta, Georgia. The fatal shooting of Brooks, a black man, by a white police officer in Atlanta has poured more fuel on the raging US debate over racism, prompting another round of street protests and the resignation of the southern city's police chief. The death of 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks was ruled a homicide by the county medical examiner's office on June 14, 2020, a day after the Wendy's restaurant where he died was set on fire and hundreds of people marched to denounce the killing.

Protesters hold up placards as they gather on Palmdale Blvd demanding justice for Robert Fuller, a young black man who was found hanging from a tree, on June 16, 2020, in Palmdale, California. Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva on June 16 pledged a "thorough" investigation into the death of Fuller, a black 24-year-old man found hanging from a tree in Palmdale, southern California. Fuller's family has cast doubt on the possibility he would take his own life and has urged a full investigation. Questions have also been raised following the death last month of another black man about 50 miles east of Palmdale.
