context_page_description: There have been a series of George Floyd protests in Michigan. Following the death of George Floyd in police custody, protests spread from Minneapolis to other parts of the United States, including Michigan. Protests broke out in Detroit on the night of May 29 and spread to over 15 other cities over the following days.
context_section_description: Several thousand people gathered at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing on May 31. About a thousand of them marched south from the Capitol, and the east to East Lansing where they protested outside the East Lansing Police Department. About 100 protesters then returned to downtown Lansing. As tensions rose in Lansing, the city enacted a curfew which remained in effect until 5:00 am on June 1. On June 2 a group of about 250 gathered at the East Lansing City Hall to protest the death of George Floyd and two separate incidents where a white East Lansing police officer was accused of using excessive force against black men. On June 6, protesters called on Lansing mayor Andy Schor to resign "over inaction on police abuses".
