Protests happened across the Pittsburgh area Monday afternoon in response to the death of George Floyd. It was the third straight day of protests in the region. Floyd died while in police custody earlier this week. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was arrested Friday and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s death. Chauvin is accused of keeping his knee on the Floyd’s neck for more than eight minutes.  Hundreds of protesters marched through the streets of Pittsburgh and then gathered in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty neighborhood.  (Photo:  WPXI)
