The White House was under a brief lockdown Friday night as protests erupted across the country over the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd, bringing tensions to a boiling point and forcing one of the Twin Cities to issue a curfew while demonstrators clashed with police across the U.S.

Sen. Ted Cruz on George Floyd's death, riots in Minneapolis: The law should apply fairly and uniformly

Fox News and other members of the press were immediately moved inside as the White House went into lockdown. A dozen reporters were said to be inside the West Wing. One of the protestors was later taken into custody by the Secret Service outside the White House Friday night. Protests have broken out across the country. In Atlanta, demonstrators spray-painted and broke windows of CNN’s Atlanta headquarters.

Several of the bottles thrown contained accelerate, and an American flag was lit on fire as protestors yelled at the police, “Quit your jobs.” NYPD officers reportedly became violent using their nightsticks and pepper spray outside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn Friday night.

Fox News sucks so bad. Fox causes division in our country and they are always yelling awful things to and about Americans. So sick of their shit.

Civil disobedience is a powerful tool! NOPEACE

Why do you fail to report about the Fox news reporter? Not a thing about it here. Not a thing on your web site either.

Wont stay locked down when the Apache's and blackhawk's fly over.

Amazing, after a tragedy realDonaldTrump is sending 'a fabricated message of condolences' while posting 'Open America again' at the same time. Amazing, but it is showing the right nature of a president with a total lock om empathic feelings. Get rid of him soon, please....

Too much air time to Jason Nichols, a professor who know know better. If you feel pain , dont burn down your neighbors house. Teach that to your students. There is no excuse for looting and anarchy , no space should be provided for mayhem seanhannity POTUS

Criminals defend criminals!

how are all these rioters in these liberal cities who are under strict stay at home mesures supposed to just stop and go back to lockdown after all this craziness 🤔

Why isn't the news reporting that these two knew each other and even worked together as security guards at a nightclub. This isn't random it appears targeted/personal . Why isn't anybody investigating into the fact that Floyd probably knew something about his cop-coworker?

Is it just me or are we seeing mostly white poeple are initiating/leading these trashings? Riots

No social distancing. Freaking terrorists.

Put federal troops on the White House property with instructions to not allow any protesters on the property.

Dumbasses out there giving these idiots a camera to act in front of. 'Let's interview these people and see what they have to say'. You guys are feeding the flames as well.

Will the dotard be able to hack it around the golf course this weekend?

Maybe FoxNews shouldn’t have their personalities cover this. They are insensitive and just make matters worse. The DB on a bit ago claimed that we do not know if the cop actually killed George Floyd. Really racist? Casting doubt so soon with an angry narrative is wrong.

Why are the rioters not going to jail? It’s ridiculous. Officials are not protecting business owners. Local governments who allow rioters to burn buildings should be liable personally and and as a group.

Century 21 ? Or 17

They breach the perimeters, they get what they came for, 🤔 justice !!!

This is the result of the radical left agenda all over the world. Same disgrace we are seeing in Chile.

American society is getting so violent and aggressive. You guys accept it from your President so it's free for all. And the world is watching and drawing its conclusions.

Minneapolis mayor calls for charges against white officer in death of African American man George FloydMinneapolis mayor calls for charges against white officer in death of African American man George Floyd. 'We cannot turn a blind eye,' Mayor Frey says. 'It is on us as leaders to see this for what it is and call it what it is.' His city is literally on fire right now. He needs to resign. Putting that officer behind bars is the least you could do. Can't belive the Monkeys in Minneapolis are burning their city down. Goes to show why Detroit looks like that

George Floyd would 'be alive today if he were white,' mayor saysA new report from the Minneapolis Fire Department says paramedics in the ambulance carrying Floyd checked his pulse "several times…finding none…" Duncan Lemp is rolling over in his grave. This could be true or not. But this statement from the mayor is spectacularly unhelpful and problematic. Let the investigation take its course without inflaming the public. America is made great now!
