Violent clashes erupted repeatedly in a small park next to the White House, with authorities using teargas, pepper spray and flash bang grenades to disperse crowds.

With the Trump administration branding instigators of six nights of rioting as “domestic terrorists”, there were more confrontations between protestors and police and fresh outbreaks of looting.

“We have black sons, black brothers, black friends, we don't want them to die. We are tired of this happening, this generation is not having it, we are tired of oppression, ” said Muna Abdi, a 31-year-old black woman who joined the protest.Hundreds of police and National Guard troops were deployed ahead of the protest.

Officials in LA – a city scarred by the 1992 riots over the police beating of Rodney King, an African-American man – imposed a curfew from 4pm Sunday until dawn. Chauvin has been charged with third-degree murder and is due to make his first appearance in court on Monday. Three other officers with him have been fired but for now face no charges.

“They did so in a professional manner. They did so without a single loss of life and minimal property damage, ” he said. Trump blamed the extreme left for the violence, saying he planned to designate a group known as Antifa as a terrorist organisation.
