American singer-songwriter Halsey also joined the protest. Based on her latest Instagram post, she is among the thousands of people who joined the peaceful protest in the US. However, their peaceful protest later became violent.

The ‘Without Me’ singer said cops started shooting, throwing tear gasses, and physically assaulting her fellow protesters. She also shared photos of herself providing aid to the protestors. She urged the government and the people to listen to the black people.

“The police are keeping you safe right? You’re wrong. This is happening everywhere. And innocent people exercising their rights to speech and assembly are facing violence and abuse of power,” she wrote.
