Live updates: Business leaders call for change as cities reel from a weekend of George Floyd protests

The unarmed black man died after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck despite cries from Floyd that he could not breathe.

Many local governments instituted curfews over the weekend in an effort to dissolve mass gatherings. Still, the protests continued into the early hours of Monday morning in some places. CEOs and business leaders are largely voicing support for the demonstrators and calling for aggressive and intentional efforts to reduce socioeconomic inequalities.

This is CNBC's live blog covering all the latest news on the demonstrations gripping the U.S. This blog will be updated throughout the day as the news breaks.

That's alot of looting. arson and destroying of places where innocent people have to work. The protests stopped being protests when the looting and arson started. I'd make a bet that most rioters don't know the name of the man killed.

Let’s to be honest, Those people don’t give a damn about George, they just waned take this as a advantage and loot something for themselves

There needs to be a true distinction between civil protesting and criminal activity. Those that are doing criminal acts are not protesters. They are a distraction from the true message. Please don’t let the true message get lost.

So last year more than 38 police, men and women lost their lives in the line of duty and not once was there ever a nationwide show of support for them. Apparently, there is greater support for criminal activity than there is for those trying to protect you?

I don't see Grand Rapids, MI and Kalamazoo, MI listed.
