Many Canadians watching events in U.S. with shock and horror - PM Trudeau

Many Canadians are watching the riots in parts of the United States with shock and horror, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday in a highly unusual commentary on American domestic affairs.

"Anti-black racism - racism - is real. It's in the United States but it's also in Canada," he told reporters. Minneapolis has been rocked by a third night of violent protests over the death of an unarmed black man after a white police officer knelt on his neck as he lay on the ground following arrest.
