Downtown D.C. burns after another night of protests and provocation near the White House via hunterw
WASHINGTON — The capital was awash with anger and pain as tear gas blew along the streets and rubber bullets flew Sunday night and into the early hours of Monday morning. Flames and smoke rose into the night, and officials and journalists struggled to understand who exactly was responsible for the worst of the damage.
I met this guy Lafayette Park across from the White House before things really heated up last night. He wore a Hawaiian shirt, a symbol of right wing activists who hope to provoke racial conflict called"Boogaloo." He was aware of the meaning but insisted it was a coincidence. pic.twitter.com/0qSNKgRSyoTwo African-American men, who said their names were “Donny T.” and “Rev,” explained why they came to the park despite the potential of danger.
Donny also theorized that the violence was fueled by frustration over lockdowns and unemployment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Protesters in the park also focused their anger on President Trump, who was assumed to be nearby in the White House and spent part of Sunday evening posting messages on Twitter indicating his support for an aggressive response to the demonstrations.
John said he was at the park “just for George Floyd and, I guess, all the problems we have in this country, experiencing police brutality and such.” He added that he was planning to take an exam to become an emergency medical technician. After the curfew took effect, protesters remained in the area in defiance of the order. They continually clashed with law enforcement from multiple agencies including FBI teams in military gear, the National Guard and officers from the Drug Enforcement Administration who were dispatched to deal with the continued demonstrations on Sunday.
