Keke Palmer urges members of the National Guard to take a knee alongside Los Angeles Black Lives Matter protesters in powerful video

Keke Palmer implored members of the National Guard to march with Black Lives Matter protesters on Tuesday.

The Strahan, Sara and Keke TV host, 26, made her impassioned plea to the National Guard officers during a peaceful protest in Los Angeles.

'Stand together with the community, with society to stop, stop the governmental oppression,' the Scream Queens actress begged of the men in the powerful video.

'We need you. March with us, march beside us,' Palmer then went on to ask the soldiers.

While they said they couldn't leave the intersection to march with the protesters, the men eventually knelt with them instead.

In recent times, the action of 'taking a knee' has become synonymous with NFL player Colin Kaepernick's refusal to stand during the United States national anthem in light of police brutality against people of color.

The video was retweeted by Get Out director Jordan Peele, along with the caption, 'Your move, Bone Spurs'.

The pejorative is a reference to US President Donald Trump's infamous avoidance of active service in the Vietnam War because of a supposed foot problem.

The nationwide protests are in response to the killing of Minneapolis man George Floyd last month. 

In the May 25 incident involving Floyd, arresting officers said he matched the description of a forgery suspect, and subsequently resisted them when they took him into custody. In an accompanying clip, Chauvin was seen pinning his knee into the back of Floyd's neck as Floyd pleaded with him to relent.

'Please, please, please, I can't breathe ... please, man ... my stomach hurts, my neck hurts, everything hurts ... I can't breathe,' said the African-American man, who later died in police custody in a nearby hospital.

Chauvin faces charges of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in connection with the incident.

Minnesota state and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights on Tuesday put in a human rights complaint against the Minneapolis Police Department.

'We know that deeply seated issues exist,' Gov. Tim Walz said. 'I know it because we saw the casual nature of the erasing of George Floyd’s life and humanity. We also saw the reaction of the community.

'They expected nothing to happen, because nothing happened so many times before.'

In the wake of the jarring sequence of events, riots began in Minnesota and spread both nationwide and internationally, with thousands of protesters taking to the streets, even amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The events have drawn parallels to the Los Angeles riots of 1992, which broke out after four police officers were acquitted in their trial over the beating of Rodney King, which was caught on video camera. In the five days of rioting, more than 60 people died, 2,000-plus were hurt and damages to destroyed property topped $1 billion.
