After his address, Trump walked from the White House through the area that had been cleared for him to nearby St John’s Episcopal Church, where he clutched a Bible as he posed for pictures with his daughter, Ivanka, and US attorney-general William Barr. A few hours after the Washington fracas, thousands of people marched through the streets of Brooklyn, shouting “justice now” while cars drove alongside, some drivers honking in support.

A second autopsy ordered by Floyd’s family and released on Monday found his death was homicide by “mechanical asphyxiation”, or physical force that interfered with his oxygen supply. The report says three officers contributed to his death.
