USA TODAY is reporting live from protests in cities across the nation tonight as demonstrators react to the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Follow along with us LIVE:

planned to deploy as many as 10,000 troopsMeanwhile, the Pentagon offered to assist Minnesota with active-duty troops. So far, Gov. Tim Walz has not sought help from federal troops, according to a statement from Jonathan Hoffman, a Defense Department spokesman.

Leaning on her shovel while talking, social worker Kara Vangen, 58, said no one should mistake the cleanup as a criticism of the protests themselves. "We have seen things like white supremacist organizers who have posted things on platforms about coming to Minnesota," Harrington said. Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said there was a protest of about 3,000 people in Brooklyn that splintered into smaller protests. There were more than 200 arrests, and multiple officers were injured, Shea said. Some were in the emergency room, and one had had their teeth knocked out, Shea said.

America on fire,🇺🇸must hear NOW! Federal mandates: Update law enforcement manuals & training across America: WEARING A BADGE & UNIFORM DOES NOT GIVE YOU RIGHTS TO MURDER. Violation of the rights of those you are hired to protect & serve results in termination, murderers jailed!

Because black people are REAL REAL REAL TORED OF BEING HATED JUST BECAUSE GOD MADE IS BROWN

Did I miss national cheeseburger day?

Its so rewarding to see each liberal created crisis fail. This too shall pass.

This is not just anger toward the murder...this is anger toward the POS in the WH

America, you are a sad nation!!!! Instead of fighting covid-19...you're killing your own people, burning your own country...fighting each other, very sad!! What happen to the land of the free? Very sad the whole world is watching you...what a disgrace!!!

I really hope this means a step forward towards justice!

How about trying this process if you live in the state and you're arrested for non-violent protest, slap on the hand, but if your from another state, sit and wait in jail till the court has time to hear your voice. No ID your waiting with the rest. Remember to bring your own soap

racism no!!

👍👍👍

How did these protests begin? A timeline of events leading up to nationwide outcry against George Floyd’s death.

This is a major setback for Republicans, and a major setback for Washington

Maybe get real facts and not British Security experts to guess who is involved because according to the Lt Gov of Minnesota white Supremacists are also there not just anarchists.

You still think these are protests?

Riot is coming I think

That’s it.

2020 🤦‍♂️

‘Haunted': Minnesota Attorney General responds to death and investigation of George FloydThe FBI is investigating the death of George Floyd, black man who was pinned on the neck by a police officer and later died in custody. Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison joins The Beat with Ari Melber’s breaking coverage on the latest from the FBI and the protests. While the officers involved have yet to be charged, Ellison argues a “quick arrest” might “make people feel better about justice” it is “important” for investigators to “take the time to make sure that these charges, if they are brought forward, stick.” This will go the same as justice for Khassoggi. Especially since fat barr is involved The people will continue to revolt, untill these disgusting 4 cops are locked up! Now the rest of the cities peace sits upon you! Most of the idiots there were not there for justice. They were there to do what they ALWAYS do in these situations. To get free stuff and destroy property. Mainly free stuff. Just watch the videos. Punks. Typical scum.
