2 New York lawmakers attending a protest in Brooklyn on Friday night say they were pepper-sprayed by NYPD officers.

WASHINGTON — The nationwide protests over the killing of George Floyd reached close to the doorstep of the White House Friday night, as demonstrators tussled with Secret Service and other law enforcement officers in riot gear over metal barricades.

Gathering for hours in Lafayette Square, a public park across a closed street from the White House, demonstrators chanted and threw objects across a security line. As of 11:45 p.m., the protest had not turned violent. But there was little sign that it was subsiding. The sound of helicopters flying overhead could be heard through the heart of the city periodically for several hours Friday night.Demonstrations erupted for a second night on Friday in Louisville, Kentucky, where residents protested the death of Breonna Taylor and

What do you expect when you attend a riot! How stupid can you get?

Really.

One is a dystopian country The other is V for Vendetta

Charging the cop with 3rd degree murder and manslaughter is a slap in the face to the protesters. He could plea down, ending up just getting probation or months. This is an example of why there are riots everywhere. Someone else would at least get charged with 2nd degree murder.

Trump needs to spend much more time leading through action ... And much less time explaining himself and tweeting ... Otherwise, Trump should step down and let Mike Pence lead America !

NY burning too! Find them and put them in jail and not just for a night! Things will get progressively worse if you don't!

Have you seen the video of the NYPD police officer and captain who shoved the woman down to the ground because she asked why?!?

When will the FBI investigate the coordinated attacks on police stations and businesses in 30 cities by groups like Antifa as domestic terrorism?

This is 2020, the government has eased it's protection of felons per rona, now we have mindless individuals thinking they have a right to burn and loot businesses and are talking about going into the suburbs. It sucks if you have to use your gun to protect your home and business.

We call it Lawlessness
