Protests over the death of George Floyd in Washington, D.C. on Friday caused Secret Service agents to place the White House under lockdown.

The White House was placed on lockdown Friday as protesters gathered outside its gates as part of a nationwide spate of demonstrations against the death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd.

Demonstrators were calling for the resignation of President Donald Trump and chanting"I can't breathe." Secret Service agents refused to allow people to exit the ground of the White House. Video footage of the protests was shared on social media. Language in the videos may be deemed objectionable by some readers. In one video, Secret Service agents on the scene were spotted detaining protesters.

RIGHT NOW: White House. Secret Service tackled someone. Large crowd gathering them. More police coming.

A people should never have to be afraid of their Government specially in America where all people are free Not just some

No juice, no breakfast! All Lives Matter!

JasonLemon These protestors are going to get people killed passing around coronavirus

White Supremacist infiltration of the police:

Someone should tell them they have the wrong address

Paint it Black!

Thugs, that's what they are! This is a patetic excuse of a human being to vandalize business!

It would seem the mayor of Minneapolis would be in receipt of protests as it’s his department but then that would put a deep blue politician in a position of responsibility for government failure

Resign, Trump Pence McConnell Graham McCarthy Barr! You have American blood on your hands. God damn traitors 🤬🖕

That touching speech Trump gave today was really helpful in calming the atmosphere wasn't it? Oh that's right he didn't give a speech about George. He had a campaign rally about China instead.

IF we want to save the life of the next victim, THEN ACCOUNTABILITY right now should be clear - on the head of the police. A revolution is required within the police. All lives matter. Protect & Serve. Zero tolerance with police brutality and excessive use of force. Immediately.

Yay!

The people must be heard. They have no choice.

This is MakeAmericaGreatAgain

Not black lives matter justice does every life matters watching the video all the officers are equally responsible, a rogue officer, becomes a perpetrator, he should have been stopped, just a view from the other side of the pond

Good! There should be protests outside the White House all the time. Keep the RacistInChief and the rest of those schmucks on lockdown until after the election.

The White House seems a little too 'white' at this day and time.

Me like.

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.

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!
