Cities across the country are bracing for another night of protests over the death of George Floyd. Crowds have already gathered in Washington, D.C., New York City, Houston and Los Angeles. Some protests erupted in violence yesterday after it got dark.        George Floyd's child's mother is expressing her sorrow knowing their daughter will grow up without her father. Speaking in Minneapolis, Roxie Washington said he will never be able attend future birthdays, graduations or walk her down the aisle on her wedding day. Washington said Floyd loved his daughter and was a great father.       Presidential candidate Joe Biden plans to attend George Floyd's funeral in Houston next Tuesday. The service will follow a public viewing at Fountain of Praise church on Monday. Although he was born in North Carolina, Floyd grew up in Houston.       Members of the National Guard are successfully deescalating a protest in Hollywood. A group of protesters got into a standoff with the Guard when all of a sudden everyone took a knee. A few moments later protesters and the National Guardsmen where seen hugging it out before dispersing peacefully.       Amazon is having a "Summer Sale" in an effort to give retailers an economic boost. CNBC reports the sale will start on June 22nd and could last for seven to ten days. While Amazon has yet to give the event an official name it has been dubbed the "Biggest Sale in the Sky" for now.       A doctor with the National Institutes of Health says the warm weather is unlikely to slow the spread of COVID-19. President Trump has repeatedly touted that COVID would recede during the summer months because of the heat. Doctor Francis Collins wrote in a blog post Tuesday that the climate would only matter if a large portion of the population had built up an immunity or resistance to the infection.
