In May 2020, Derek Chauvin, a police officer, murdered George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Chauvin and three other officers were arresting Floyd for allegedly using counterfeit money to purchase cigarettes. Protests against racism and police brutality broke out in response across the United States and internationally. The majority of demonstrations in the United States were peaceful; some protests resulted in property damage, vandalism, or bodily harm. In many cases, police attacked and harmed protestors and journalists. Some protestors occupied roads and highways, blocking traffic. Some motorists have driven through crowds of protestors, some of whom were injured or killed. Following the demonstrations, Republican legislators in many states, including Oklahoma, have sponsored and supported legislation that restrict protesting and the right to assemble under various conditions.
