The police used tear gas Sunday near the White House to disperse demonstrators did not comply with the curfew introduced in the city, like other large cities in the United States where thousands of people protest, sometimes with violence for several days against police brutality and racism.
The curfew has been imposed in Washington, Los Angeles and Houston to prevent the events following the death of George Floyd, an African-American who died after his arrest by the police of Minneapolis (Minnesota), does not lead to further violence and new looting.
