On Monday, in Washington D.C., demonstrators were cleared from an area around a park near the White House in a show of force by authorities to clear a path for President Trump and advisors to have a photo opportunity from an historic church on Lafayette Square.
Minneapolis and other U.S. cities brace for more heated demonstrations after protesters and police across the nation continue to clash in the wake of George Floyd's death.
RELATED: Peaceful George Floyd protests marred by bursts of violence
More than 4,400 arrests have been made at demonstrations nationwide since video emerged showing former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin holding his knee to Floyd's neck for more than eight minutes. On Monday, President Donald Trump chastised governors for failing to halt the looting, vandalism and violence.

Breaking news MSM morons: looting, stealing and committing arson is actually RIOTING.🖕🏻
@robert williams don’t twist my words. I said peaceful protest accomplish nothing. Maybe it’s better to write your congressman lol
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a little civil disobedience under the circumstances however killing and beating people is definitely not ok.
The Amnesty International are guilty of failure to provide assistance. You have to prepare people so that they are ready and capable of at least fighting back the police. You can’t allow people to think that they are safe if they protest peacefully, knowing that the white supremacists have infiltrated the police force and are now feeling authorized to kill in public. Colored Americans in the Army and in the Police force should not feel obliged to obey oaths taken assuming that the commander in chief would be a rational person. People of color in the Army and Police force should be the ones to stop the likes of Trump now. Overthrow such insane commander in chief. Rational people in the secret service are the ones to stop insane leaders. If you took oath to protect the president, you took that oath to protect the citizens whom the president took an oath to protect. You cannot kill citizens because you are protecting an insane president.
@Eric Agot People like you are the damn problem. I wonder how long you Dems plan on playing into the Russians hands. First Donald Trump was a Russian agent, then a dictator, then now he’s responsible for natural disasters. You people keep on moving the goal post while using fabricated evidence to get your way. Yet Still Orange man bad. He’s not the one supporting the riots. Keep on destroying the country, we will try and rebuild like the hard working citizens we are.
I looted Target to give food to homeless people
I love virtue signaling from MSM…because I don’t have a brain that can think for itself.
ALL…lives MATTER…
King Midas every place people have stolen other people’s cultural ideas for years through art literature and music but people cry about it yet you still buy made in China guaranteed 🥱😅🤣
There are no white people getting killed on tv by cops because cops don’t do this to white people. The worst a white person can get is an a struggle on the ground. Think about for a second, how many blacks have been killed or abused by white officers or officers period OFF CAMERA we all seen the clip if George Floyd was a white man he would’ve been in the car already with no harm done
King Midas there are more white deaths to cops than any other race look at facts before you open up mouth
King Midas also your assuming that all cops are racist towards blacks why because you saw one guy die to a white cop on tv😂
King Midas have you ever watched the show cops 😂
EVERY LIVES MATTER NO MATTER WHAT
@BENNY HANNAS Dude im Vietnamese
@BENNY HANNAS Dude chill i didn’t do nothing to you i only said to the ppls and you that every lives matter, if we all hate each other its not going to be right, im telling you and everybody to calm down with the black matter stuff and we all should need to relax. btw stay safe and ur whole family to! 🙂
THAT’S THE FACT, EVERYONE LIVES MATTER, THE PROBLEM IDIOT POLICE DISREGARDS STANDARD POLICE PROCEDURE. NOT EVERYONE TO SUFFER FOR A SINGLE IDIOT POLICE IS AN IDIOT.
BENNY HANNAS ok this is correct but incorrect. ALL LIVES DO MATTER but black lives are under fire at the moment. Don’t get it twisted .honey.
So terrorist lives matter? Racist lives matter?
Protest in peace! God Bless!
@William Kepa chucking rocks isn’t “peaceful”

@Jackson Rogers I’d have an argument with you but I really need to argue with people that have an IQ. At the very least take a f****** English class loser if you’re going to try to use your own language for an argument
DUMBMERICA WAS NEVER GREAT!! Ur mad bud
Kueng…..a White Supremacist too? By looking at him, i would have to say he doesnt belong to any white affiliated group.
Everyone who supports Trump is a white nationalist kkk member, even the black ones lol

Guessing social distancing is over.

Hahahaha
Ya’ll need to plant more trees in ya cities…just concrete
@Richard B Calm down friend. I feel your angered energy through my phone. 🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿
Nuck Chorris can’t prove that y’all originated from black people but okay
You don’t see trees in the background?
Sorry that I don’t live in your privileged countryside with cows and manure spray machines for you crops.
concrete jungles are a disease on the earth
The police officers guilty of this crime should and will be punished for there crimes. And last time I checked, ex cops are not popular in prisons and are at risk 24/7 to be killed.
HOWEVER, starting darn riots, destroying public tax paid property and private property is NOT okay. Destroying private buisnesses and ruin families lifes is NOT okay.
Stealing and plunder is NOT okay. How, just HOW is this justified by the murder of one person? How is the death of George Floyd equal to destroy an entire city and steal stuff and even thret to kill people out loud for someones skin color? NON of that is okay. BLM is a violent organisation filled with hate, racism and ignorance.
African Americans who own stores and restaurants have gotten there livehood and lifes totaly ruined by these actions. How and why are they attacked if this is a “race” thing?
BLM don’t care for anything unless its suits there own hate filled agendas.
robert williams and more black people have been treated wrongly by police officers.
@Jenna Baily Mabey so and that is always wrong when authorities treat ANY people wrong. We all have both rights and duties. Starting destructive riots, hurtin innocent people, ruin private buisnesses and raising race related conflicts is not okay.
That will never be accepted. Especally it is heavily vironic when African AMerican buisness owners have gotten there stores and buisnesses totaly ruined by BLM supporters…how is that related to anything near the crime of George Floyd? NOTHING.
@Birb Crosser – Riots are making peoples living even more strained as it is. It wont solve anything. And all the violance against innocent people bystandards? How is that hustified by the BLM? It is NOT.
@Terrence Henretta Missed that!
@Wario’s Gold Coin Not everybody is going to be a good egg bud. Some people are going to take advantage of the situation to do what they want while other people are going to peacefully protest and be ignored by the media because thats what the media wants “a story”.
At 2:20:00 i swear they jammed the feed because the guy was totally right!!
George Floyd , both autopsy say he was high on 2 drugs at the time Also look at this rap sheet – robbing homes, putting guns to pregnant woman’s stomachs… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj7D4-VLZlQ
@KC on drugs or not he shouldn’t have died there was no reason to hold em down on the neck for so damn long
@KC that was 15 years ago when he committed those crimes
@KC it doesnt matter what crimes he did in the past. The point is that excessive force was used on him and it killed him
KC ok, if you want to do a background check, Derek chauvin and tou thao had 24 complaints filed against them altogether
So black and lesbians united protests
Is covid19 even a thing anymore?
No this is the new narrative on trying to make Trump look bad and get rid of him so they can have power back it’s no secret Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
It was never a thing that was fake
@Mike Fazzini you’re tripping
@TOO REAL tell it to the dead
Give it until around the 14th
How’d it go from George Floyd, to raiding to black women matter
@Michael Bell god damn please tell me this is sarcasm
Surgical man the Russians KGB orchestrated all of this rioting,looting kkk,blacks and all just to disrupt the election that’s coming up.U.S and Russian Cold War never and never well be over
Surgical I’ve protest around a lot of whites like more then ever whites are angry as hell at least where I’m at but I seem to notice that there White Russians from how they speak….u don’t have to believe me all I know this not the first time the Russians got involved in conspiracy against U.S around close to election
@Michael Bell that never happened
Uh oh, people are chanting. Call in the subhuman stormtroopers to escalate.
Hmm…it’s almost like it’s staged. Planned.
The whole worlds a stage. And we the actors playing our part.
Wtf is wrong with these comments? If you can’t see why people are doing this even in a PANDEMIC, then you are part of the problem! The fact people have to risk not social distancing yourself create a SAFE COUNTRY should disgust you. Not those people.
Floyd couldn’t breathe, because he had a virus and this brave policeman only helped him. I see him as hero.
This people are protesting and still are unaware they have been thoroughly manipulated. Floyd did not deserve to die the way he did, however there is a cover up amiss (as Sherlock Holmes would say…”Something is amiss.”).
How about the others during the riots who died at the hands of the rioters? Where is justice for those people?
Why is the media not showing the real truth about the statistics about who is killing who?🤔
President Ronald Reagan said, “If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.”
