Chaos has continued to unfold in cities across America where over 50 Secret Service agents were injured in clashes with protesters in Washington DC, cops charged into demonstrators in New York City, and lootings and store raids continued to unfold in California, Philadelphia and Boston.
Tens of thousands of people gathered as the National Guard was deployed across the nation for protests that have seen 4,100 people get arrested this weekend alone.
But even the threat of heavy officer presence didn’t deter protesters in Philadelphia from hurling rocks and Molotov cocktails at police, crowds from raiding stores including Coach and Chanel in New York and San Francisco, or fires from being ignited mere feet from the White House.
Late Sunday in Washington D.C., a fire was set ablaze in the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church and Lafayette Park in front of the White House.
One protester was reportedly shot dead by police in Louisville after a crowd gathered in the city, where the George Floyd case has reignited anger over a separate shooting in March.
This week hundreds of protests have unfolded in at least 145 cities across the country as people gather in outrage over the horrifying death of George Floyd, a black man who was killed while in the custody of a white police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Memorial Day.
